Magnum handles the clean bittering, Citra delivers the intense tropical citrus and grapefruit aroma the variety is known for, and Hersbrucker adds a subtle herbal spice note that gives the hop profile depth beyond just citrus. A Carapils grain steep adds body and head retention without changing colour or flavour.

What sets it apart is the use of Czech Saaz hops, which produce a distinctive spicy, herbal, and floral bitterness that’s much more complex than the neutral bitterness in mainstream commercial lagers. The style is also brewed with soft water and fermented cold for a smooth, clean, highly drinkable result.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy does this kit ferment at a lower temperature than most?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe recommended fermentation range of 10–15°C is typical for lager-style brewing, which produces a cleaner, crisper fermentation character than ale yeast at warmer temperatures. If your home gets that cool naturally in cooler months, you’re in perfect territory for this kit. A brew fridge or temperature-controlled fermenter works well too if you want to brew it year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat are Czech Saaz hops and what makes them special?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSaaz is one of the world’s four noble hop varieties, grown in the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic for centuries. It has a unique spicy, herbal, and slightly earthy aroma and flavour that’s completely different from the tropical or citrus character of modern craft hops. It’s the defining hop of Czech pilsner — subtle, refined, and genuinely elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow much beer does this kit make?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis kit produces 21 litres — enough for approximately 28 × 750ml longnecks or 55 × 330ml stubbies. Serve it well chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIs this kit suitable for someone new to home brewing?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes — it’s a malt extract kit with a clean, manageable process. The main thing to pay attention to is fermentation temperature, which the instructions cover clearly. Someone new to home brewing will find it very achievable, though it’s worth noting that cool fermentation is key to getting the best result from this style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow long does it take from brew day to drinking?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlan for around 3–4 weeks in total. Lager-style fermentation at cooler temperatures takes a little longer — around 10–14 days — followed by at least 1–2 weeks of bottle conditioning. The extra patience pays off: a well-conditioned pilsner is genuinely satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat food pairs well with a pilsner?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBohemian Pilsner is one of the most food-friendly beer styles there is. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, seafood, lighter pasta dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses. The crisp bitterness also cuts through fried food brilliantly — schnitzel with a cold pilsner is hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Australian Home Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41994277486669,"sku":"35109","price":59.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/35109.jpg?v=1754037323"},{"product_id":"heater-pad-heat-panel-deluxe-blue-made-in-nz","title":"Heater Pad \/ Heat Panel Deluxe BLUE : Made in NZ","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e The Brew PAD – Deluxe Home Brew heat panel...

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter give the brewer professional fermentation control, just like the commercial breweries. Fermentation is arguably the most important part of producing a good quality beer. A good fermentation environment starts with a clean and sterile fermenter, has a consistent controlled temperature base and exposure to oxygen is minimised. The Grainfather Conical Fermenter provides you with a modular system for all of this and more!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro Edition includes the basic unit plus the Dual Valve Tap and Temperature Controller. Allowing you to control the heating of your unit (and cooling with the Glycol Chiller available separately - availability TBC), dump yeast, take samples and transfer your wort via our innovative dual function valve design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDouble Walled: A stainless steel double walled skin is filled with a thick layer of polyurethane foam for insulation. This is what keeps the wort at a constant stable temperature with minimal influence from any external environmental temperature changes, providing insulation for your fermentation that a standard jacket cannot achieve. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Gentle Heating\u003c\/strong\u003e: In the cavity of the fermenter between the outer body and cone sits a 30 Watt, 12V heating element. Unlike standard heating elements\/sources that directly heat the liquid, this heat source is designed to heat the environment in between the walls of the fermenter, which in turn heats the liquid. It is similar to controlling the temperature in a temperature controlled room. The fermenter acts as an artificial environment which can be heated, meaning the temperature is raised in an even and controlled manner which is much better for the yeast. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Cooling Sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e In between the two stainless steel walls sits a cooling sleeve (also made of stainless steel). This cooling sleeve is welded onto the inner wall of the fermenter and can be hooked up to the additionally purchased Glycol Chiller. Temperature is dialed into the Temperature Controller and as the cooling liquid travels through this sleeve, it cools the stainless steel which in turn evenly cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, it is completely concealed, built into the fermenter and never needs cleaning or sanitising - a true innovation for a fermenter of this scale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Easy Access to the Interior for Hassle Free Cleaning: The Grainfather Conical Fermenter has a smooth interior with no additions such as cooling coils or additional sampling valves meaning it is easy to clean and minimises the risk of infection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGolden Angle Conical:The conical shape of the fermenter is typical for professional breweries. Our conical has been designed with the 'Golden Angle' of 60º. This is the optimum angle for yeast and sediment to drop down to the bottom of the cone without getting stuck to the sides, allowing you to transfer from above the sediment line, resulting in clearer beer. The conical shape also allows for better mixing during fermentation due to the path of convention currents that it enables to occur. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Valve Tap\u003c\/strong\u003e: Make the yeast dumping, transferring and sampling process more professional with this innovative all in one valve. Sampling and transferring is done through an inlet above the sediment line, allowing for clear, sediment free beer. Easily collect your yeast from below the sediment line with the same unique valve for recultivating and pitching. The innovative design of the valve allows for this dual functionality and less cleaning for you. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Temperature Controller easily snaps on and replaces the standard Temperature Display via magnets and pogo pins.
