Festival Pilgrims Hope Dark Bitter Kit

Festival Pilgrims Hope is a high-quality premium 3kg beer kit. Everything you need to brew a superb dark bitter ale is included in the box (except water). Festival Pilgrims Hope Dark Bitter provides complex flavours of tropical fruit and pine needles in abundance, big and malty with the perfect hop bitterness. The hops included in this kit are Target and Summit. This Festival beer kit provides a rich brown mahogany finish with a tan coloured head.

Includes a 50g sachet of hop pellets to achieve a stunning hop aroma, and also provides a 100g sachet of priming sugar to ensure proper conditioning of bottles or barrels.

Hop bitterness of the Pilgrims Hope is 4.5 (on a scale of 1-5). The kit produces a target alcohol content of 5% ABV (approx). The Festival Pilgrims Hope kit contains high-quality ingredients and easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Each kit makes 40 pints of premium ale

Festival Premium Ale Kits also contain hop pellets and priming sugar. Simply adding the hop pellets halfway through fermentation infuses flavour and aroma into the finished beer, resulting in a brew with more hop character than ever before. The precise addition of included priming sugar ensures the correct level of carbonation is achieved for each particular style of beer.

Tips

We strongly recommend using Pure Brew with this kit in order to achieve a commercial quality. Pure Brew is a professional beer enhancer. It feeds the yeast with essential nutrients, which supercharge the fermentation and support yeast development (even in limited oxygen conditions). Additionally, Pure Brew treats brewing water, eliminating problems caused by Chlorine and Chloramine, which can create a medicinal or, as it is sometimes referred to, a “homebrew” taste. Achieving optimum results in brewing critically depends on the condition of brewing water, but this important area is often overlooked. By using Pure Brew, you can effectively and easily condition brewing water, and maximise effective fermentation.

The addition of beer finings will improve the final quality of your beer. Finings such as Harris Beer Brite will help your beer to clear quickly and the sediment will be more likely to stay at the bottom of bottles or barrels. If you are using Corny Kegs then it is important to clear the beer as much as possible before kegging. Beer Finings will promote a faster and more efficient fall out of sediment and haze particles prior to kegging. Harris Starbrite is a highly effective vegan-friendly beer fining, which is rapidly becoming a firm favourite with home brewers.
