An easy-drinking pale ale to enjoy for any occasion.

This kit produces 40 pints at 4.5% ABV.

Great British Series

Britain boasts a proud brewing heritage and stands as one of the world’s four great brewing nations. While modern trends often spotlight New World styles, it’s Britain that laid the foundation for global brewing innovation. With a legacy built on centuries of craftsmanship and a landscape rich in world-class hops and malts, Britain continues to inspire.

The Dark Rock Great British Series enabled home brewers to reconnect with these roots through a carefully curated selection of iconic, traditional, and modern styles. Each kit features the finest British sourced ingredients, and wherever possible, we partner with local suppliers to celebrate and support homegrown excellence.

Expect bold hop aromas, deep flavour profiles, and a brewing experience that rivals commercial craft beers, raising the bar for home brewers.

Why Choose Dark Rock Part Grain Beer Kits?

Dark Rock Part Grain Beer Kits strike the perfect balance between ease and authenticity, making them the ideal choice for anyone who wants to brew exceptional beer at home without jumping straight into All Grain Brewing. Whether you’re just starting out or already an experienced brewer, these kits help you produce commercial-quality, flavour-packed beer with confidence.

Unlike basic extract kits, these take your brewing to the next level by combining traditional extract methods with a simple steeping and boiling process. Using carefully selected malt grains and hops, you’ll unlock richer, more complex flavours and aromas—giving you far greater creative control over your brew. All you need is standard home brewing equipment, plus a 12-litre pan and a thermometer (see full equipment list below), making it an easy upgrade from standard extract kits.

Each kit comes with 3kg of premium malt extract, a freshly packed blend of grains, and top-quality hops sourced from the best producers worldwide. We weigh and pack every ingredient fresh to order, while hops are vacuum sealed in nitrogen-flushed bags to lock in their full character and freshness.

To make your brewing journey even smoother, we provide expert guidance and a wide variety of beer styles to explore—from hazy pale ales and rich stouts to crisp pilsners. With Dark Rock Part Grain Kits, you get everything you need to create truly exceptional beer at home.

Brewers Tips

This kit includes Pure Brew, a professional enhancer that boosts fermentation and treats brewing water. It feeds yeast with vital nutrients, while removing Chlorine and Chloramine, which can cause off-flavours. Since water quality is key to great beer, we strongly recommend using Pure Brew in every brew for consistently better results.

You’ll also get Harris Starbrite finings, a vegan-friendly clarifier that helps your beer clear quickly and encourages sediment to settle. This is especially useful if you’re kegging, as it reduces the risk of haze and sediment transfer.

To make brewing even easier, we’ve included a muslin grain bag and hop t-bag. For a more advanced setup, consider adding a metal hop spider. It offers better hop circulation during the boil, is easy to clean, and can be reused again and again.
