Standard ale kits provide approachable, versatile beers without committing to the stronger hop character of an IPA or the roast profile of a stout. The current range includes familiar real ale and Irish red ale choices.
Choosing an ale kit
- Traditional real ale: Lion Real Ale provides a straightforward classic option.
- Irish red ale: Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Irish Red Ale offers a red, malt-led direction.
- For a lighter style: Compare the wider pale ale range.
- For richer malt character: Explore dark and brown ale kits.
Check the recommended fermentable and fermentation temperature. If replacing supplied yeast, choose a compatible strain from the beer yeast range and expect the finished character to change.
