With its bright, malty notes and crisp finish, it's like taking a sip of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

This beer is perfect for those seeking a refreshing and approachable drinking experience. Kanpai!

Frequently asked questions:
How long will my beer last after being bottled?
Some styles of beer should be drank fresh while others can benefit from extended conditioning time. If you follow good cleaning and sanitising practises your beer can last longer than a year.
How long does it take to brew?
Making beer with fresh wort kits is incredibly quick and easy. There are a few stages of the brewing process , each taking a different amount of time.
Hands on brewing time: 30 minutes
Fermenting time: 2 - 12 days
Bottling time: 45 - 90 minutes
Bottle Conditioning: 1 - 2 weeks
Will I need to purchase anything else before I start brewing?
If you have selected a starter kit that includes bottles or a kegging starter kit you will not need anything else to start brewing.
We include enough cleaner and sanitiser for the next 20+ batches. After you brew your first batch you will only need to purchase a fresh wort kit, yeast and dry hops*.
*Dry Hops will only be required for some of the fresh wort kits.
What makes this starter kit different to others on the market?
Premium Ingredients
Includes a fresh wort kit instead of a malt extract tin which produces a more authentic beer. Our Fresh Wort Kits are made fresh from grain, hops and water in the same way breweries produce beer. This means your beer retains more of the unique flavours that are often lost in the process of making an extract beer tin.
Quality Yeast
Includes Lutra Kveik Yeast instead of a generic brewers yeast. Lutra Kveik is particularly well suited to Australian climate and will ferment happily in a range of temperatures without producing off flavours. Most starter kits will use a generic yeast that will produce a range of off-flavours when fermented too warm. Inappropriate yeast and fermentation temperature is the most common cause of off-flavours in beers, Lutra Kveik eliminates this.
Enough Cleaner and Steriliser
Includes a dedicated cleaner and sanitiser to ensure your equipment can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised before brewing. We include 1kg of cleaner and 500mL of Concentrated Steriliser which is enough for the next 20+ batches.
High Quality, Detailed Instructions
Includes in depth instructions that walk you through brewing your first batch in detail. Many starter kits include basic instructions that leave new brewers confused and don't explain the rationale behind each of the brewing steps.
