Brewing Information

Black Rock Crafted American Pale Ale is expertly brewed in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery using only the finest fresh New Zealand malt, then gently evaporated to 80 brix for convenience. This means costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home.

For a clean and refreshing home brew American pale ale with Black Rock, brew with Black Rock Ultra-Light UME. If you want a fuller, more assertive result, combine 2 cans of APA for a more powerful hop aroma and bitterness. For best style accuracy, try fermenting with a specialty US ale yeast like Safale US-05.

This dry hopped APA home brew kit is a smart choice for brewers building their range of home brew supplies Australia wide, especially if you enjoy fresh, hop-forward pale ales.
