The Cellar's recipe kits are formulated for 5-Gallon batches and include all necessary ingredients, plus 50 bottle caps, strainer bags, priming sugar, and an informational sheet featuring the entire recipe and special instructions for brewing each batch. 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 and crushed or uncrushed grains 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.

Amber Ale
"Red Rabbit Ale." Put a lot of darker crystal malt and lots of hops together in a beer, and you've got an amber ale, quickly becoming a style unto itself. The full hop flavor and aroma of this beer balances out the ample supply of crystal malt, which give an amber ale its color and malty sweetness.

Our recipe features the distinctive citrusy aroma of the Cascade hop. Learn more in the "Classic Beer Styles" book on this style.

German Kolsch
"Greenwood Gold". Kölsch is a light, clean, and delicately balanced ale brewed in the Cologne region of Germany. It is one of the newest beer styles, having been brewed for less than a century. Kolsch brewers produce a golden ale that balances pale malts and subtle noble hops, all framed by a clean crisp body and taste imparted by a lagering process. Cool fermentation with the true kölsch yeast and cold lagering will produce a beer that tastes and drinks like a clean light lager; a new choice for Summer refreshment.

Porter
"Black Heart Porter." A style steeped in tradition. During the 18th century, bartenders would blend three different beers from three different casks to create a more flavorful, complex beverage. Porter is rumored to have been brewed to replace these “three thread” beers, and named for the workmen that guzzled them. A “few grains” shy of a stout, our Porter has a dark brown color, roasted/coffee taste and a malty finish. Learn more in the "Classic Beer Styles" book on this style.

Belgian Tripel
"Cerberus Tripel." This rare style was originally brewed at the Abbaye Notre Dame du Sacre Coeur, Westmalle. Now there are over 40 breweries producing this style worldwide, and this recipe falls in the middle of three of the more popular brews. The use of Belgian candi sugar and specialty grains with light malt combines to create a complex, alcoholic, yet golden ale with a depth of flavor and aroma that can be rediscovered with every goblet. We highly recommend using the Belgian Trappist liquid yeast with this recipe.

There are no finishing hops, so the aroma and character of the spices and yeast can surface. A complex and refreshing treat to savor in any season.

Bock
"Old Billy's Beard." Get your malt here! A generous sweetness dominates this German lager, hailing originally from Einbeck. This style was created primarily for its nutritional value, to sustain the monks that brewed it through periods of fasting. A Bock’s malt flavor is not disguised by hops or roasted grains as it is in most Stouts and other hefty brews. Some say it was brewed under Capricorn, the sign of the billy-goat (or “bock” in German). We say brew it anytime. Learn more in the "Classic Beer Styles" book on this style.
