What recipe should you use to brew your seasonal beer ?

Do you enjoy brewing your own beer? Already buying beer kits from our online shop? With the right tips and ingredients, you can create your own seasonal beer recipe. Here’s a detailed guide to help you brew step by step.

A recipe for a seasonal beer

Start by gathering the ingredients:

  • 3 kg Pilsen MD malt
  • 1 kg Vienna malt
  • 300 g white wheat
  • 100 g amber Candi sugar
  • Magnum hops (pellets)
  • Styrian Colibri hops (pellets)
  • Belle Saison yeast
  • Water with controlled physical and chemical characteristics

Mashing: Crush the grains, then heat 18.2 L of water to 70.6°C. Perform saccharification at 64°C for 1h15. Deactivate enzymes at 76°C for 10 minutes. Filter the spent grains with 12.4 L of water at 75°C.

Boiling: You should now have 26.7 L of wort. Add 10 g of Magnum hops before boiling. Once finished, turn off the heat and add 125 g of Styrian Colibri hops. Let stand for 15 minutes, then cool the wort rapidly.

Fermentation:

  • Primary fermentation: 10 days at 28°C
  • Secondary fermentation: 10 days at 18°C
  • Bottle conditioning: 15 days at 20°C

Carbonation should reach 3.0 volumes of CO₂ per litre for a lively, sparkling finish.

All the accessories and ingredients you need

To successfully brew a seasonal beer — whether it’s a stout, wheat beer, Belgian ale, or red ale — you’ll need the right equipment. Essentials include:

  • A complete brewing kit with airlock
  • A thermometer to monitor mash and fermentation temperatures
  • A rubber bung for inserting the airlock
  • A bottling kit for optimal storage of your beer

In addition, quality ingredients such as grains, malts, hops, and yeasts can be ordered directly from our online shop. You’ll also find brewing kits with one or more specific ingredients tailored to different recipes.
