Everything you need to brew, organised by ingredient type. Each page links to the styles it suits and the recipes that use it.

• 

  Hops

  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.
