All our WilliamsWarn Standard Kits have been developed to
match styles as closely as possible to these guidelines. We have
In some cases we are very slightly out of the BJCP spec for
either colour or bitterness but that is because we’re choosing
our own specification for technical or historical reasons.
In some cases we are also slightly lower in alcohol content than
the spec, because we have standardised our kits as one can of
LME and one 1.36kg (3lbs) foil bag of DME to keep it simple
and consistent. However as explained in Appendix 3, you can
very easily increase the alcohol content of a Standard Kit by
adding 250g to 500g of DME or dextrose (glucose) when you
add the ingredients to a brew.
It is acceptable to add this extra as dextrose (glucose) as the
base kit has so many good nutrients for the yeast that a little
pure sugar is not an issue. So feel free to boost the alcohol a
little with dextrose as it is cheaper than DME and won’t impact
on quality if a 1.36kg (3lbs) bag of DME is already part of the
ingredients you use.
However be aware that German beers are traditionally made with
100% malted barley so it is better to boost the alcohol content
of these with DME only and not any sugar.
especially focused on matching colour and bitterness. A summary
of WilliamsWarn Kits colour vs bitterness is shown on Chart 1 below.
THE ADVANCED METHOD
From these Standard Kits you can add extra malt and hops and
make other beer styles via what we call our Advanced Method.
This is what is known in the USA as “Extract plus Grains”. That
name is a little misleading as it is in fact a method using malt
extract plus not only grains but hops and any other ingredient
you want.
The method of soaking extra crushed malt and hops is described
in Part 3. Advanced recipes to allow you to expand into other
beer styles while using the Standard Kits as a base are available
on our website in 2014.
