12 best beer extract kits

Product description

The Muntons Premium range was developed for the original four kits in the early days of English home-brewing. Formulations for this range have purposely not been changed since they were first developed back in the early 1970's - a tremendous heritage and a proven track record. The Premium range allows home beer makers to experience flavours from around the world in their own homes, enjoyably and economically. Once again the Muntons Premium range is made entirley from 100% hopped malt extract with no inferior or cheap adjuncts such as barley syrup. There is one notable exception to this however - the American Style Light Beer. To emulate the light delicate character of this popular beer style it was necessary to include in the kit a percentage of liquid sugar. This is the only beer kit in the extensive Muntons ranges made from anything other than 100% hopped malt extract.

Thank you for your inquiry.Bulk Apothecary
Question:	About how bitter will the final beer be? how many ibus or ebus
Answer:	Muntons does not list their bittering units in IBUs but rather EBUs, which is extremely similar. The range they list is 33-47 EBUs.

User questions & answers

Question:	When would be the right time to be ready to drink this beer since you say aging it brings out the flavor
Answer:	I make 5 , 5 gallon batches at a time. That being said Before I start to drink any of them. They have been finishing in kegs for at least 8 to 16 weeks They are always good from start to empty by that time. Enjoy. And never rush your beer.

After all, how can words truly describe the billowing mahogany head blanketing that wonder-brew lying below, with the roasty, malty, caramelly and creamy flavors doing battle with your tongue to prevent articulation? Oh, just quit your blathering and pour yourself another beer!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the best yeast fermentation temperature range for this kit
Answer:	This kit uses the Safale S-04 Ale yeast. It ferments best at typical room temp of between 60-69 degrees but can tolerate temps into the 70's without producing odd flavors.
Question:	Does this kit come with pellet hops or leaf hops
Answer:	All the the beer making kits offered by Boomchugalug include hop pellets.Cheers,Jeff WalchOwner, Jasper's Homebrew & Winemaking at boomchugalug
Question:	What are all the supplies you get with this kit
Answer:	Simply put everything but the bottle and water. Caps, labels, grains, yeast, steeping bag and dark malt are all included. The only thing really different is that all the liquid malt comes in a bag, not in a can. The kit makes a good stout. I have bought it twice now. Also bought a couple of other types.
Question:	Is this an all grain kit
Answer:	No. It is an extract kit.

Product description

This is a clone recipe for Three Floyds Zombie Dust Okay, here’s a mind experiment: what do you get when you shove a zombie through a wood chipper, push those putrid chunks through a meat grinder, slather that ghoulish mess into a dehydrator, pulverize those green giblets through a food processor and then toss that unholy, powdery mess into an industrial fan that’s blowing back in your face (and yes, you have your mouth open)? You’re right! You have zombie dust, of course! But an easier way to celebrate this dehydrated zombie splatterfest is to simply pour yourself a pint of this knock-’em-dead, golden-amber IPA. No, you won’t be exploding a gymnasium full of zombies, but you will be enjoying this hop-bomb explosion of fruit-juicy Citra hops and delectable malt that bites more pleasantly than a zombie gnawing on your leg. And if that’s not enough, you’ll appreciate that frothy white head more than running a zombie head over with a lawnmower. Because let’s face it, during a zombie apocalypse, wouldn’t you rather have Citra bits stuck between your teeth than the powdery bits of the living dead? So go ahead, tilt your head back and take a hearty gulp, because this time it’s okay to enjoy this Dehydrated Zombie Splatterfest with your mouth wide open!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this kit come with sanitary cleaner
Answer:	No kit comes with ingredients. Malt Syrup, crushed grain, hops, yeast, muslin bag, priming sugar, instruction sheet, and bottle labels. I'd suggest Star San as a good sanitizer when brewing.

Product description

You can feel the tiny hairs on the back of your neck rise as the perspiration beads around your brow and your hands shake in trepidation—because the temptation is too great! There it is, the object of your desire, with its lacy white head floating like a halo over that maddeningly beautiful Belgian White, which is both golden like the gates of heaven and cloudy with a heavenly white aura. And that lovely perfume pulls you in and alludes to the inescapable flavors of sweet and zesty wheat malt which frames the crisp and creamy body before stepping aside for the spine tingling flavors of coriander and Curacao. You know you need it and the seduction is driving you mad. So go ahead. Have no fear and indulge your temptation. One innocent sip won't lead to the fall of mankind, though it will certainly lead to the fall of your pint!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use orange flavored vodka or would that be to much
Answer:	The Forbidden Fruit Belgian White recipe uses 1 oz of Curacao orange peel and 1/2 oz of coriander, which produces a classic Belgian-orange character. Of course, we are home brewers, and we can do whatever we please! Should you use orange vodka to steep the spices? Why not! Yes, it will boost the orange character a bit, but if extra orange flavor is what you desire, then GO BIG OR GO HOME! (and if the orange is a little too intense early on, it will mellow and fade with extra time.)Thanks again, and have fun brewing!Cheers,Jeff WalchOwner, Jasper's Homebrew & Winemaking at boomchugalug
Question:	Is there a way to bump the abv up some without affecting the overall flavor of the beer? thanks
Answer:	To inbrease the abv you might wanna increase the sugar consentration and then find the adequate yeast for the % you're looking for. In regards to the taste, i'm sure you won't find a difference unless you have brewed it before and you want the same exact taste.
Question:	My initial gravity was a little low, 1.041. I think there was a small amount of extract left in the bag, stuck
Answer:	What I normally do is add some warm water to the bag/container and give it a few shakes for about one minutes so it can dissolve all the malt extract—that stuff is like gold to a home brewer. Also, make sure not to top off your fermenter past the five gallon mark. If you add extra water, your OG will be bellow target. Another thing is to oxygenate your wort we’ll post boil and making sure your yeast is fresh. An under active yeast can yield lower than expected final gravity. Last, make sure you ferment at a temperature not too low for your given yeast. I have made this batch twice and both times achieved my target gravity. Hope this helped.
Question:	What other accessories do i need to buy? do i just need to buy the bottles and caps? any recommendations
Answer:	All recipes sold from Boomchugalug contain all of the necessary ingredients to brew the given recipe. Yes, it's true that you will need to bottle the beer at some point, so you will need about (48) 12 oz bottles and an equal number of bottle caps. Some brewers will choose to reuse bottles, but you cannot reuse bottle caps. Bottles can be expensive to ship. Usually it is a good bet to pick them up at your local home brew shop.Thanks again, and have fun brewing!Cheers,Jeff WalchOwner, Jasper's Homebrew & Winemaking at Boomchugalug

Product description

Pale ale malt combined with medium caramel malt creates a rich, copper color. Bitterness is balanced to match the malt character. Smooth clean finish with moderate Carbonation level.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a 5 gallon tank for the brewing
Answer:	No, it only includes the ingredients to make 5 gallon's worth of American Amber. You'll need your own tank(s) for the actual brewing.
Question:	How many caps does it come with
Answer:	Our kits come with 60 caps, enough to do the 5 gallon batch and then some.
Question:	How does it taste in the end? Is it really hoppy
Answer:	This particular kit, American Amber by Brewer's Best, is very well balanced between hops and malt. It contains about 1lb of caramel and aroma malt, which comes through in the flavor as a slight toffee character. It's not quite as bready as say New Belgium Fat Tire, and is nowhere near a west coast hoppy amber/red. If you lean more towards malty beers, you will enjoy this one or the Brewer's Best Red Ale.Cheers,DIY Craft Beverage
Question:	just curious of how many gallons does this kit yield
Answer:	5 gallons, all those kits produce 5 gallons. I recommend the Red Ale.

Product description

When you’re in it for the long-haul beer-drinking session that might involve tipping a bunch of cold ones on lounge chairs beside the lake, clinking endless glasses during epic backyard-barbeque pool-parties, ducking flying saucer thingies dangling from overhead wires or stumbling as a low-wage zombie through a cardboard-tombstone graveyard - well, then, this might be the beer for you. After all, when phrases like “24 hours in a day - 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?” begin to make perfect sense, then keep the party going with this amazingly drinkable all-day IPA. With a modest 4.7% alcohol and 42 IBUs, you can keep ‘em coming without becoming cross-eyed quickly and tripping over your tongue. But don’t worry. Just because this session IPA goes easy on alcohol and bitterness, it’ll still dazzle your senses with its hop-bomb explosion of big hop flavor and aroma. That’s right - just the way you like it when you’re gonna start with one and see where the rest of the day takes you! (Boomchugalug management team note: We’re not going to guarantee that indulging all day in this session IPA will not result in strange, erratic outer-space-like behavior. Just saying.)

Product description

This beer is dedicated to all of those folks who’ve never learned the social art of how to be quiet. Oh hell, who are we kidding? These characters will continue to blather until either your head explodes or you can somehow plug their pie holes. And though the thought of “sticking a sock in it” sounds tempting, it has legal ramifications, so why not offer these babbling buffoons a beer? And what better a beer than Shut the Fuck Up Ale? This amber beauty will match the color of your complexion as you endure their endless ramblings, but this fine ale’s malty, caramelly smoothness, and the delectable interplay between the floral and citrusy hops will pacify your nerves as their flapping lips seem to fade into the distance. And remember, if you can’t get ‘em to shut their mug, just say, “How about a nice frosty mug of Shut the Fuck Up Ale?

User questions & answers

Question:	my wife really prefers Bud, any suggestions on what I should brew for her
Answer:	Not this one! This is a very strong IPA, nothing at all like Bud. If you want to brew a Bud Like beer look for a pilsner
Question:	Can this be kit be used with a 5 gallon pot
Answer:	During the boil you won't use the full 5 gallons of water, so yes a 5 gallon pot should work. You can go to their website and the recipe will tell you how much water to use during the boil. As with any boil, just be sure to watch carefully for boil over. I did mine with a ceramic lined canning pot, transferred to a standard plastic brewers bucket for primary and S.G. adjustment and a carboy for secondary with no problems.
Question:	what all comes in this kit
Answer:	This kit come with bottle cap LABELS. Not the caps. Caps are typically sold in bags of 144 which is enough for 4-6 batches depending on the size of the bottle used. So most home brew extract kits do not send caps with the kits. The labels go on top of the caps so that they do not need to be scraped off the bottle before it is reused.
Question:	How long is the brewing process
Answer:	The actual brewing will take about two hours total. Brewing gives you what is called "wort". You make the wort. The yeast makes the beer. With your help. You have to provide a healthy environment for the yeast. The first step is sanitizing all equipment that will come into contact with the wort after it cools. You can do that while you are brewing. When you are done boiling you need to chill the wort and this can take a couple of hours or it can take 45 minutes or less, depending on your method. Basically, figure a half day of your time on brew day, from unboxing to closing the fermenter and cleaning up your mess. Now the yeast must be allowed to do its job. This is an ale. Most homebrewers will use a single stage fermentation, about 14 days in the fermenter. I make only ales and I go 10 to 14 days primary, then transfer to a secondary fermenter to get it away from the trub, which is the inch thick layer of sediment in the bottom of your fermenter. In secondary, it will continue to ferment, very slowly, metabolizing complex sugars that the initial very active fermentation skipped over. This gives you a somewhat drier ale, with better clarity. One to two weeks in secondary. So call it three to four weeks total fermentation, if you do it that way. Next you have to put your beer into something and give it some fizz. You can bottle, which is slightly cheaper and gives you a way to gift your beer, or you can keg it, which in the long run is cheaper and at least to me, makes the beer taste better. The down side of bottling is the mess you will certainly make first time at bat, the extra complication of dissolving and adding priming sugar and filling and capping and storing for bottle fermentation, and the layer of sediment left in the bottom of the bottle. The downside of kegging is you can't just carry a few beers with you in a cooler. The initial setup cost is significant... you have to buy a 5lb CO2 tank, regulator, hoses and fittings, one or more Cornelius kegs or other style/size of keg, beer faucet, refrigerator to use as your kegerator, and other stuff. But most everything is a one time purchase. I like being able to open my beer fridge and pull a little 4oz glass or a 20 oz glass of beer, at will, and not having to wash all those bottles. The carbonation is easily controlled and adjusted. And back to the question, it is possible to drink your beer from the keg the day after you keg it. If you bottle then you have to wait for bottle fermentation to complete, a couple of weeks or more. Either way, a bit more conditioning is beneficial. I like to let my kegs sit in the fridge for a couple of weeks before drinking from them. So another 2 to 4 or more weeks from the end of fermentation to actual drinking. So, for an ale, figure about two months from brew day to drinking day, not counting sampling of course. Absolute minimum, if you keg, about 12 days but your beer will be better if you don't rush it. Max, well I don't think most ales benefit much from going past three months. So there you go. Hope that answers your question. Other types of beers can REQUIRE several months for a decently drinkable beer. Ale is quick and simple.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the brew demon craft this item
Answer:	The Brewers Best Pumpkin Spice Porter comes with great step by step instructions for that specific ingredient kit. It does not come with a full how to book.
Question:	Are the grains already crushed or do i still need to do that
Answer:	5 gallons of beer. (50-60 x 12 oz bottles)
Question:	price without the grain bag & priming sugar? I don't need these
Answer:	Here at Boomchugalug at the Amazon Marketplace, all of our recipes are for 5 gallon batches. A home brewer can split any of our recipes itno multiple batches to be brewed at different times. The only problem with this approach is the yeast. The yeast package is enough for 5 gallons of beer, but once the package is opened, the the entire package should be used at that time. A partially opened, yet-to-be used yeast package would become contaminated. A solution would be to purchase an extra package of yeast. We do not sell yeast packages individually on Amazon, but you can always order them directly from our website, which also goes by the name Boomchugalug. In fact, if you would ever like to preview the actual ingredients and recipe sheet for any brew, you can always find that information directly from our website.Cheers,Jeff WalchOwner, Jasper's Homebrew & Winemaking at boomchugalug
Question:	Can you add corn sugar to raise the ABV
Answer:	The first two times I bought this kit, it came with a vanilla bean and a spice packet. When you seep those in vodka, it does become a kind of thick, gel-like mixture. In the fermenter, it just settles with all the trub. Maybe people complained about this (or having to buy vodka for a $70 beer kit), so the most recent time I got the kit it came with a pre-made spice concentrate. It smelled very artificial to me, so I did not use it... which means I just had to buy vanilla, spices, AND vodka for a $70 kit
