All-Grain vs. Extract Recipe Kits: Which is Right for You?
We stock recipe options suited to every level of homebrewer, from beginner extract setups to advanced All-in-One brewing systems:
- All-Grain Recipe Packs: Designed for brewers using All-in-One systems (like Grainfather, Brewzilla, or Robobrew) or traditional 3-vessel setups. Includes freshly crushed base and specialty malts, vacuum-sealed hop additions, premium yeast, and step-by-step mash profiles.
- Extract Recipe Packs: Ideal for brewers looking for award-winning flavour profiles without the extended mash time. These kits combine concentrated liquid or dry malt extract with steeping grains, targeted hop additions, and premium dry yeast.
- Proven Recipe Profiles: Every recipe pack includes comprehensive brewing instructions detailing target gravity readings (OG/FG), mash temperatures, hop schedules, and fermentation advice.
Frequently Asked Questions: Homebrew Recipe Packs in NZ
What is included in a homebrew recipe pack?
A standard recipe pack includes all the ingredients required for a full 19L–23L batch: pre-measured base and specialty grains (freshly crushed), vacuum-sealed hop additions marked by timing (boil, whirlpool, or dry hop), style-appropriate yeast, and an easy-to-follow instruction guide.
Do I need special equipment to brew an all-grain recipe pack?
Yes. All-grain recipe packs require equipment capable of mashing grain and boiling wort, such as an electric All-in-One brewing system, a BIAB (Brew in a Bag) setup, or a mash tun and brew kettle combination, alongside a standard fermenter and temperature control setup.
Are the grains in the recipe kits pre-crushed?
Yes. We mill our grains fresh right before packing your order to ensure optimal starch conversion and maximum mash efficiency on your brew day.
How should I store my recipe pack if I’m not brewing right away?
If you aren't brewing immediately upon arrival, store the hop packets and yeast in your freezer and fridge respectively. Keep the grain bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. For peak flavour, we recommend brewing crushed grain recipe packs within 2 to 3 months.
Can I customise or tweak a recipe pack?
Absolutely! Recipe packs provide an excellent foundation. You can easily tweak the final beer by adding extra dry hops, substituting the yeast strain for a liquid or Kveik option, or adjusting water additions to suit your local NZ water profile.
