Spraymalt, Sugar & Enhancers

Stanley Thewlis

Outstanding quality

I've recently returned to brewing, and this type of product was never available when I used to brew before. These spray malts are superb quality, and a significant move forward from the bulky malt extracts. When added to a kit to increase the original gravity, they have very good head retention properties. The hopped spray malt is also very good, but the label ought to specify what variety the hops are. The brewing sugar is very clean and pure, and much better than household sugar. However, I would still prefer glucose chips, which don't seem to be available these days. I'm undecided about the enhancers, and still think that dry-hopping with a fragrant variety is best for aroma. However with dry-hopping, you risk clogging the tap, so you would have to improvise a filter, and you need to let it condition at least 2 weeks to get any aroma into the beer. That's fine by me, because I leave the beer to condition at least 2 weeks before drinking. Secondary fermentation during conditioning produces CO2 very slowly, so most of it dissolves in the beer, lowering the PH and making it more tangy. Then when dispensed, you get millions of tiny bubbles as the dissolved CO2 comes out, preserving the head and avoiding a "flat" beer.

LalBrew Nottingham High Performance Ale Yeast

Stanley Thewlis

Proper British ale yeast

A British ale top-fermenting yeast, ideal for bitters, light ales, IPAs, stouts, amber ales and Christmas ales, etc. It is rated for low temperature fermentation, so no need to use a heat mat. Anything from 25 deg down to 16, but I think 16 would be a bit slow. The one thing about these dried yeasts for the home brew market is that, compared to a commercial brewery's yeast, it does not produce a thick mat on top of the wort. I used to always find a local brewery and beg a jar of their yeast, but many of them these days are reluctant to let you have any. A brewery's active yeast produces a mat a good centimetre or more floating on top, which protects the beer underneath, and makes airlocks unnecessary. This yeast has a thinner mat which has a tendency to fall on the final day, which a commercial brewery yeast does not. However, it's one of the best I've tried that is available for the home brew market, and the finished beer is very good.
