Recipe Kit Northern the Great Summer Lager
Crack open your first home brew with one of our most popular beer kits — Northern The Great Summer Lager. This complete brewing kit gives you everything you need to brew a crisp, refreshing Australian-style lager right in your own kitchen or garage. No experience required.
This is our take on a true Aussie summer classic — light golden in colour, with a clean finish, subtle hop bitterness, and that satisfying refreshment you'd expect from a cold one on a hot day. Fermented with a Californian Lager yeast, it delivers a smooth, easy-drinking result that punches well above the effort it takes to make it.
What makes this a great kit? Everything you need to brew your first batch of lager comes pre-measured and ready to go. Full step-by-step brew day instructions are included in the box — so you'll know exactly what to do from start to finish. No brewing experience needed. Just follow the steps, wait a few weeks, and enjoy up to 21 litres of your own handcrafted lager.
What's in the box? All brewing ingredients are included — malt extract, yeast, and a blend of our own specially selected adjuncts. Exact quantities, ratios, and brew day instructions are included inside the kit. You'll need a basic home brew fermenter setup to get started — check out our Beginner Starter Kits if you need equipment.
It's our take on an Australian summer favourite. A crisp & refreshing brew beer, light golden in colour with subtle bitterness. Brewed with a Californian Lager yeast for a clean finish. Perfect for summer or anytime ! We call it “the beer from down here”.
