Geordie Lager Home Brew Kit – Makes ~40 Pints of Classic Lager

Overview:

The Geordie Lager Home Brew Kit is an ingredient beer-making kit designed for home brewers who want to produce around 40 pints (≈23 L) of light, refreshing lager with a tangy continental character. It’s a straightforward extract kit that’s suitable for beginners and experienced brewers alike.  

🍻 

Style & Taste

• This lager is light gold and sparkling, with a clean, crisp body and a refreshing, lightly-tangy flavour reminiscent of continental lager styles.  
• At about 4–4.5 % ABV, it’s easy-drinking and ideal as a session beer straight from the fridge.  

📦 

What’s Included & What You Need

• The kit includes a 1.5 kg malt extract base (wort) and brewing yeast — everything you need to start fermentation.  
• To complete the brew you’ll also need:
  
• 1 kg brewing sugar or a beer kit enhancer (for optimal body and flavour).  
• Basic brewing equipment such as a fermenter, airlock, steriliser, siphon and bottles or a pressure barrel — these are not included.  
•

Brewing Process & Timing

• Simply mix the extract with hot water, add sugar (or enhancer), top up to 23 L with cold water, then pitch the yeast.  
• Fermentation typically takes around a week, after which you can bottle or keg. A short conditioning period (10–21 days) helps improve clarity and flavour before drinking.  

🍺 

Serving & Pairing

• Serve chilled for best refreshment. This style suits casual gatherings, BBQs, or everyday enjoyment with pub-style snacks like burgers, crisps and grilled chicken.

Good to Know

• This kit is a classic extract style, making it ideal for newcomers to home brewing.  
• Using a quality beer kit enhancer instead of just sugar can improve body and depth of flavour.
