These are more than just beer kits they are CONCENTRATED BREWERS WORTS.   Production follows traditional brewhouse procedures using only the finest quality 2-row malting barley and the choicest English hops. The grist (crushed malt) is 'mashed' with water at 65 °C for about one hour to convert the starches into sugars.  The resultant liquid (wort) is strained off into a boiling vessel where hops are added for bitterness.   After boiling, extra hops are added for flavour and aroma.   In a commercial brewery the wort would be cooled rapidly to around 20 °C, then transferred to a fermentation vessel where it is transformed into beer.   As our worts are to be fermented at home, they first need to be reduced to a convenient size for the home beermaker to carry.   To achieve this, the excess liquid is evaporated under vacuum, at low temperatures to preserve the delicate flavours, then pasteurised and canned.   To continue the brewing process at home, all that is necessary is to dilute the concentrated wort back to its original density and ferment!   Extra hops are included to restore aroma lost during production.   Included in the box are some advanced instructions for those who like to experiment.   Subtle flavour differences can be achieved by adopting a few advanced techniques e.g. bitterness adjustment, sweetness, colour etc.

India Pale Ale

India Pale Ale is a true classic.   In the time of the British Raj very strong pale ales were sent to India by sea.   These ales were very high in both alcohol and hops to preserve them on their long sea journey.   Generally they would be diluted to a more 'quaffable' alcohol level before drinking in India.   This is our interpretation of how a true IPA would have tasted.
