Pat's recipes

These are recipes I've collected over the years, some of them I use for my wort kits.

The recipes are available whole or crushed. I charge a little more for crushing, I also include mineral salts appropriate for the style. If you buy the recipes whole you will need to add mineral salts yourself.

Most of the standard gravity recipes are 4.8 kgs.

Recommendations for mash temperature, hopping and yeast selection are in the descriptions for each recipe.

With the hopping, FWH, B, F and A stand for first wort hopping, bittering, flavour and aroma additions respectively. The suggested hop varieties are just that, they are not definitive. However, it is hard to imagine a "proper" Pilsner without Saaz!

As for yeast, most of these recipes can be brewed to good results using Safale US-05. However, for some beer styles it is the yeast that defines the style. Saisons and Bavarian Wheats are good examples of this.

The dilemma here is that while there is a huge number of yeasts - wet and dried, on the market, availability and access is very uneven. For this reason I have tried to keep the yeast recommendations descriptive offering example strains where possible.

Remember, order by 5 pm Wednesdays for pick-up from 4 pm Fridays.
