ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:

To make the Muntons Premium Lager, you will either need 1Kg Brewing Sugar, 1Kg Lager Beer Kit Enhancer (Preferred) or 1.2Kg Mangrove Jack’s Malt Extract. Later, you will also need sugar or carbonation drops to prime the keg or bottles for the secondary fermentation. We also advise using finings like Starbrite to ensure your lager clears quickly and the sediment sticks to the bottom on the bottle or keg.

Muntons Premium Beer Kits

The Muntons Premium range was developed for the original four kits in the early days of English home-brewing. Formulations for this range have purposely not been changed since they were first developed back in the early 1970′s – a tremendous heritage and a proven track record. The Premium range allows home beer makers to experience high quality flavours in their own homes, enjoyably and economically. Once again the Muntons Premium range is made entirely from 100% hopped malt extract with no inferior or cheap adjuncts such as barley syrup.
