Hops
Generated Hopwise test image · Project fixture Cascade Hops
The hop that defined American craft beer in the 1980s. Bright grapefruit, citrus peel and floral notes — most useful late in the boil, in whirlpool and dry hop.
- Hops
Centennial Hops
Often called "Super Cascade". Higher alpha makes it a more efficient bittering hop, and the citrus/pine flavour pushes harder at late and dry-hop additions.
- Grains
Chocolate Malt
A roasted malt that delivers chocolate, espresso and dark-cocoa flavour. The defining colour and flavour grain of porters and brown ales.
- Grains
Crystal 60 L
Mid-colour crystal malt. Adds amber colour, body, and toffee/dried-fruit sweetness without overpowering the base malt character.
- Hops
East Kent Goldings
The English noble. Earthy, gently floral, slightly honeyed — the hop character of British ales and the foundation of cask-conditioned bitter.
- Yeast
Fermentis SafAle S-04
A clean, fast-fermenting English ale strain in dry form — a workhorse for bitters, milds and porters.
- Yeast
Fermentis SafAle US-05
The dry-form American ale workhorse. Clean, neutral, high attenuation — the right choice when you want your malt and hops to do all the talking.
- Yeast
Fermentis SafLager W-34/70
The dry lager standard — a Weihenstephan 34/70 derivative producing clean, slightly sulphury, deeply attenuating ferments. Bohemian Pilsners and Helles start here.
- Equipment
Glass Carboy 5 Gallon (23 L)
A classic glass carboy for primary or secondary fermentation. Doesn't scratch like plastic, doesn't permeate oxygen like PET, and lets you watch fermentation directly.
- Equipment
Handheld Brix Refractometer
A handheld refractometer for fast, single-drop gravity readings from pre-boil through fermentation. Auto-temperature-compensated.
- Equipment
Hopwise 30 L Stainless Boil Kettle
A 30-litre stainless steel kettle for 5-gallon (19 L) all-grain batches with comfortable headspace. Welded ports, no exposed threads in the boil.
- Grains
Maris Otter Pale Malt
The classic British base malt. Rich, biscuity wort with enough enzymatic power to convert itself and an adjunct or two alongside.
- Hops
Saaz Hops
The original Czech noble hop. Spicy and herbal, never aggressive. The hop character of Bohemian Pilsner and a quiet partner in pale Belgian ales.
- Grains
Weyermann Pilsner Malt
A very pale, well-modified Continental base malt. The starting point for almost every German and Czech lager, and a clean canvas for Belgian ales.
- Yeast
WLP530 Abbey Ale Yeast
A Belgian abbey strain producing the classic phenolic-and-fruit profile — peppery clove, banana ester, and a dry finish.
