Description

St Peters  Plum Porter Kit

St Peters Plum Porter delivers a dark, sweet, full-bodied beer with rich character. Damson and blackcurrant notes lead the flavour profile, followed by prominent plum fruitiness in both aroma and taste. This 3kg kit produces 35 pints of plum-flavoured porter at approximately 5% ABV.

St Peters Brewery produces six beer kits in its core range. The Plum Porter complements the India Pale Ale, Cream Stout, Honey Porter, Golden Ale, and Ruby Red Ale. The head brewer at the Suffolk-based brewery approves this kit for quality and flavour.

St Peters Brewery operates in St Peter South Elmham near Bungay in Suffolk. The brewery opened in 1996 and occupies converted agricultural buildings beside St Peter’s Hall.

DO YOU NEED ANY OTHER INGREDIENTS?

This is an all malt beer kit, and you do not need any additional sugar or beer kit enhancer to make the kit. However, you will need some sugar or carbonation drops to prime the bottles or keg for a secondary fermentation.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED?

Basic beer making equipment (5g fermenter, airlock, syphon tube with sediment trap, hydrometer, Suresan sanitiser, bottles or barrel). These are available under the starter kit section on this website.

TIPS

We strongly recommend using Pure Brew with this kit to achieve commercial-quality beer. Pure Brew acts as a professional beer enhancer and improves fermentation performance. It feeds yeast essential nutrients and supports strong fermentation, even in low oxygen conditions. Additionally, it treats brewing water and removes chlorine and chloramine. These compounds can cause unwanted “homebrew” flavours in the finished beer. Brewing water quality plays a key role in final beer quality. However, many homebrewers often overlook this important factor. Pure Brew helps you easily condition water and improve fermentation results.

Furthermore, beer finings improve clarity and final presentation. Harris Beer Brite clears beer quickly and helps sediment settle at the bottom. This works especially well for bottles and barrels after fermentation. If you use Corny Kegs, clear the beer as much as possible before kegging. Finings help sediment and haze particles drop out more efficiently before packaging. Harris Starbrite provides a highly effective vegan-friendly fining option. As a result, homebrewers achieve clearer, better-looking, and better-tasting beer.
