Brewferm Raspberry Ale Beer Kit 12L

Fruity sweetness and vivacity

Unlike some overly sugary fruit beers, Brewferm's Raspberry Ale focuses on authentic aroma. The malt provides a rounded base that supports the tangy notes of the raspberry. On the palate, the lively carbonation accentuates the refreshing side. It is a social beer, highly appreciated on sunny days or as an accompaniment to light desserts.

Tips Experts :

• Choosing your sugar: To preserve the brilliance of the fruit, avoid standard table sugar. Dextrose allows for a drier body and lets the raspberry aromas take centre stage.

• Fermentation temperature: Maintain a stable temperature between 20°C and 22°C. A fermentation that is too warm could alter the finesse of the fruity notes.

• Tasting: Serve chilled (6-8°C) in a tulip glass to concentrate the red berry scents.

FAQ Flash :

• Is it a very sweet beer? No, it is a fully fermented beer. The added sugar is consumed by the yeast to produce alcohol. The raspberry taste comes from the flavouring, but the finish remains that of a crisp beer.

• Can I add real fruit? The kit is complete, but experienced brewers can add fresh or frozen (sanitised) raspberries during secondary fermentation for even more texture
