This Classic Gold Lager kit comes complete with Pacific lager yeast. Gold Lager is a clean, crisp lager with balanced malt sweetness from pale malts. Low hop bitterness brings maximum refreshment without compromising flavour. Perfectly refreshing in hot conditions.
For a Gold Lager add 1.5kg Brick Road Extra Light malt extract, or 1kg Brick Road Extra Light Dry malt extract or 1kg dextrose. For more flavour, dry-hop with 30g or more of NZ hops like Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin or Motueka for a stonefruit and citrus flavours, or Australian hops like Galaxy or Vic Secret for tropical fruit flavours.
Follow Brick Road and you will soon be brewing fresh beer that tastes better than commercial beer. This can contains the foundations of great beer for you to brew at home, simply and easily. You can also build your own unique recipes brick-by-brick. Brick Road searched the world to find the best maltster to create this exceptional hopped wort.
Only the finest grains are selected and malted. Malts are blended to suit the beer style, then mashed with hop extracts to create hopped wort. The fresh wort is gently reduced to 80 Brix before being canned fresh on-site to retain its original delicious malt flavours.
