These wort kits are usually made on a Spiedel 500L Braumeister Brewery. NOTE: These kits are generally designed to add 3 litres of water to the fermentation for a 20L brew.

Yeast not included.

DESCRIPTION

The Keg King Schwarzbier is a new fresh wort kit that allows homebrewers to create a German-style dark lager. The term "Schwarzbier" literally means "black beer" in German, and the kit is designed to produce a brew that is true to this style.

Despite its deep, dark colour, which can range from very dark brown to almost black, a Schwarzbier is known for being surprisingly light-bodied and crisp, setting it apart from heavier stouts and porters. The kit is based on a traditional recipe that balances smooth, roasted malt flavours with a clean, dry finish. You can expect subtle notes of dark chocolate and coffee from the roasted malts, which are complemented by a low to moderate hop bitterness.

As a fresh wort kit, it's a convenient option for homebrewers as the wort has already been professionally brewed. This means you can skip the mashing and boiling processes, and simply pour the wort into your fermenter, add the yeast, and let it ferment.

Dry hopping isn't traditional in this style.

Ferment this one with either Bluestone Stuttgart, SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's M76 Bavarian Lager.




Keg King Brewing, founded in 2013 in Melbourne, Australia, began as a small craft brewing system started by Grain And Grape aiming to produce high-quality, innovative beers. Intially branded Artisan Ale, the Fresh Wort Kits produced by Grain And Grape are now produced by Keg King Brewing and called Keg King Brewing Fresh Wort Kits.

Over the years, it gained popularity for its diverse range of styles, focusing on sustainability and local sourcing of high quality ingredients. With a commitment to excellence and community engagement, Keg King Brewing expanded the range of beers available to meet the expectations of an ever-growing market.

Today, it stands as a beloved brand in the craft beer scene, known for its unique flavours and dedication to brewing traditions while embracing modern techniques.

Craft Brewing Keg King Fresh Wort Kits: Small Batch – Huge Results!

Our entire range of Keg King Fresh Wort Kits is craft brewed in small batches in our own brewery. Each kit is designed around a recognised beer style and made with style-specific ingredients for authentic flavour in every beer.

We take brewing very seriously. No corners are cut and nothing is compromised. We only use the highest quality, freshest malt and hops to bring each kit to life. But we don’t stop there.

To really drive home the authenticity of each kit, we go the extra mile, incorporating traditional brewing techniques and clever hands-on processes that yield high-quality results you’ll savour in every sip.

Decoction Mashing

Our European golden lagers, like the Czech Pilsner and Munich Helles, incorporate actual decoction mashes to capture the clarity, colour and subtle flavour enhancements that the extra work on brew day brings to the kits.

Iteration Mashing

The Matt’s Imperial Stout kit is the result of a 24-hour triple-iteration mashing process. This stacks up the high starting gravity points and delivers a stout so potent you can barrel-age it for years and keep coming back to see how it evolves over time.

Cold Steep Infusion

Our Dark Rice Lager, Irish Draught Stout and Oatmeal Stout kits use an overnight cold-steeped specialty malt infusion to deliver dark colour and deep, rich flavours without harsh astringency. You’ll notice the smoothness in every glass.

Hop Stands

XPA, West Coast IPA, NEIPA and Red IPA are all kept hop-forward in flavour but still balanced, without harsh or bitter astringency. The extra time and carefully calculated hop additions are all part of our brewer’s attention to detail, so the final results have impact that will keep you coming back for more. The hop stand is a brilliant way to preserve hop oils and keep the aroma exactly where we want it… in the beer!

The Craft All Adds Up

Our love of craft brewing is what drives us to keep offering new beer styles and widen our range. We put our heart into each kit we brew, ensuring the quality and the ingredients all add up to something bigger than the sum of its parts.

Take the Work Out of Your Wort

What are you skipping when you grab a Keg King Fresh Wort Kit?

The hassle of all-grain brewing can be tedious, messy, heavy and hard to get perfect. There’s lots of preparation, lots of time wasted if you get it wrong, and unless you love it, brew day can end up a massive, sticky mess. So take the work out of your wort and start fresh, get fermenting fast and get your time back. Less equipment, less hassle, and fantastic all-grain beer in every Keg King Fresh Wort Kit.
