Gold

Many years ago - centuries in fact - it was discovered that the way to brew the best ales and beers was to use only malt, hops, water and yeast in the brewing process. In the 15th Century in Germany this was taken a stage further with the introduction of the "Reinheitsgebot" - a law prohibiting the use of any ingredients in the brewing process other than these raw materials.

This law stood until only a few years ago when the EEC over-ruled the "Reinheitsgebot" which they considered to be a barrier to free-trade within Europe! In spite of this the breweries have refused to change their recipes and still brew using only the four magic ingredients - their customers would not be satisfied with anything less, they tell us.

Traditional English ales were brewed originally without hops but tastes change once hops from the Continent were introduced keeping the ale fresh for longer. Beer drinkers gradually developed a taste for the new "hopped ales" and in the 15th Century the modern tasting English ale was borne. More recently, economic pressure has forced many breweries to introduce cheaper adjuncts into the brewing process. Purists will argue however that the beer quality has suffered because of this and that it is far better to stick to the traditional practices. We at Muntons agree, which is why the Gold Range was developed, a range designed simply to make great beer.

Types:
Continental Pils, Old English Bitter, Imperial Stout, Docklands Porter India Pale Ale, Highland Heavy

Premium

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 has been extended to include styles of beer from far reaches of the world. American Style Light, Canadian Style Beer, Scottish Style Heavy Ale, Old Ale and so on.

The Premium range allows home beer makers to experience flavours from around the world in their own homes, enjoyably and economically.

Once again the Muntons Premium range is made entirley from 100% hopped malt extract with no inferior or cheap adjuncts such as barley syrup. There is one notable exception to this however - the American Style Light Beer. To emulate the light delicate character of this popular beer style it was necessary to include in the kit a percentage of liquid sugar. This is the only beer kit in the extensive Muntons ranges made from anything other than 100% hopped malt extract.

Types:
American light 40pts, Canadian Beer 40pts, Old Ale 40pts, Bitter 40pts, Lager 40pts, Scottish Heavy 30pts, Barley Wine 24pts,

Malt Extract

Muntons range of canned malt extracts are all made from only the finest selected two row English barley malt. After mashing, the resultant wort is evaporated using our multi stage evaporators which gently removes excess water leaving a concentrated extract of malt at approximately 80% solids, 20% residual water.

The extracts are canned and pasteurised all on the same site as the malt and malt extraction processes and under the same quality assurance umbrella. Process temperatures are monitored carefully to ensure that no excess heat is applied which would damage the fine quality of the extracts during processing.

The resultant products are finally labelled and carefully packed ready for despatch to our customers. The three varieties of malt extracts produced, light, medium and dark, are each designed to act as the ultimate building block for your own recipe formulation.

The major advantage in brewing from Muntons malt extracts is that you are able to formulate your own recipe, using your own selection of hops and yeast, to brew a beer which perfectly matches your palate.

Our quality assurance and attention to detail ensures that the product you receive is always produced to an exacting specification offering you the ultimate in consistency time and again.

There are inevitably as many recipes for brewing beer as there are people in the world. If you would like to start brewing using one of our range of unhopped malt extracts we would recommend you discuss your own personal beer preferences with your local beer and wine making retailer who should be able to formulate a specific recipe to brew a beer which suits your tastes or alternatively will recommend a good book that will provide an endless supply of recipes for you to try.

Types:
Light 1.8kg, Medium 1.8kg, Dark 1.8kg

Perfect Pint

The Perfect Pint range is a budget range with a very big difference. The difference is that although the price is budget the quality is more akin to a Premium brand.

They have refused to include any barley syrup in Perfect Pint (unlike most other "budget" brands) which means that our 1.5kg kit will easily sustain a 40 pint yield maintaining all of the flavour and body of a premium beer.

They have achieved this and yet still managed to keep Perfect Pint at a truly budget price. Perfect Pint is an ideal range for the cost conscious beer maker or for individuals who are brewing on a budget. All Perfect Pint beers have an OG of approximately 1038°.

Scottish Export, Lager, Yorkshire Bitter, Pilsner Bitter, Dark Mild
