Five gallons has been the standard homebrew batch size for as long as anyone can remember — longer than homebrewing has even been legal in the United States. It’s a serious batch that produces about 53 twelve-ounce bottles and rewards the extra effort with plenty of beer to share, age or experiment with. These ingredient kits are designed for brewers who already have their equipment. To brew a 5 gallon kit you’ll need a 5 gallon or larger brew pot, a 6.5 gallon or larger fermenter with airlock, siphoning and bottling equipment and a kitchen scale

No temperature control needed

Our kits use a specially selected ale yeast that ferments cleanly across a remarkably wide temperature range — all the way up to 94°F — with no special equipment or monitoring required. Note: our Hefeweizen and Dunkelweizen kits use a traditional German wheat beer yeast that requires temperatures between 59-77°F for authentic style character.

The Dry Malt Difference

Our kits are made exclusively with dry malt extract. It’s more expensive than liquid malt extract but it doesn’t darken or pick up off flavors with age and temperature the way liquid extract does. Fresher ingredients, truer flavors — that’s why we’ve always used it and always will.

Kit includes: Dry malt extract blend, specialty grains and muslin grain bag in most kits, hops, yeast, priming sugar, bottle caps and step-by-step instructions.
