Brick Road Old Dark Ale 1.5kg

This Classic Old Dark Ale kit, accompanied by Ale yeast, offers a delightful ruby-brown malty beer with a rich, toasty caramel flavour from the dark ale malts. This taste is perfectly balanced with a medium hop bitterness, creating a surprisingly satisfying brew.

To create a classic Old Dark Ale, add 1.5kg of Brick Road Light malt extract (or Amber or Dark for additional colour). For a lighter version, use 1kg of Brick Road Light Dry malt extract (or Amber or Dark for more colour, or 1kg of dextrose). Incorporate 500g of lactose for added sweetness without increasing the alcohol content.

By following Brick Road, you're on the path to brewing fresh beer that outperforms commercial brands. This can provides all the essentials for crafting exceptional beer at home with ease and creativity. You can also explore and create your own unique recipes, building them brick-by-brick. Brick Road's commitment to excellence led them to source the world's finest maltster to produce this exceptional hopped wort.

Only the highest quality grains are chosen and malted. These grains are then expertly blended to match the specific beer style, combined with hop extracts to produce the hopped wort. The wort is carefully concentrated to 80 Brix and then freshly canned on-site to preserve its original, rich malt flavours.
