All the recipe kits below are formulated for a 5-Gallon batch and include all necessary ingredients (plus caps and strainer bags). An informational sheet, featuring the entire recipe and special instructions for brewing each batch, is included with each kit. Living and Working in Seattle, famous for its concentration of microbreweries, and in Washington, by far the #1 hop-producing state, has both spoiled and educated us. Feel free to ask us about styles or to modify our ingredient kits to your own tastes. Please specify pellet or leaf hops if you have a preference. We offer each of our ingredient kits in both extract and all-grain forms. If you are unsure about the meaning of "All-Grain," please see our description.

A BRIEF DEFINITION OF ALL-GRAIN BREWING
The processes involved are "mashing"--the breakdown of the grain's starches into sugars by a carefully controlled steeping process, and "sparging" or "lautering"--the controlled rinsing of the grains to wash the sugars away from the husks, thereby creating �wort.� If this wort were dehydrated into a thick syrup or powder, it would then be called "malt extract", the main ingredient that most homebrewers use regularly to brew their beer. It is only after mashing and sparging is completed that the all-grain brewer begins the boiling process that extract brewers are familiar with.
Although some commercial breweries brew with malt extracts, the vast majority go through the mashing and sparging proccesses on the large scale required for commercial operation. The disadvantages of duplicating this process at home are the time required (at least 4 hours) on brew day and the extra equipment and attention necessary for successful all-grain brewing. However, most grain brewers would agree that brewing from grains has rewards that are well worth the extra effort. The appeal for the homebrewer is the "from scratch" nature of all-grain brewing, allowing for complete control of every phase of the brewing process. Additionally (as you may note below), the cost of ingredients is greatly decreased when the brewer does his own "extracting."
If you have further questions about all-grain brewing or are curious to find out what equipment is necessary, feel free to contact us.
