Since
we opened our doors in 1992, our customers have taken
home more than 2 million bottles of their favourite
Brew Kettle beers. If you haven’t yet experienced
the pleasure of brewing your own, try a batch and see
why the Brew Kettle is York Region’s brewing centre!
 Making
beer is fun and easy, and saves you money. Because you
pay much less tax when you brew your own, you can save
up to half the price of commercial brews. We have many
popular styles to choose from, and it is also easy to
customize a brew. With a variety of batch sizes and
brewing processes, we cater to any level of experience.
Most customers prefer to let our staff do the cooking,
but if you would like to produce your own batch from
scratch we will show you how to measure the ingredients
and prepare the wort in our steam-heated kettles. It
is easy to do, and you will proudly tell your friends
that:
 What
does the beer taste like? That depends on the specific
beer you choose, but our recipes are formulated to produce
beer similar in taste to popular commercial beer styles.
(See the back page for information on the basics of
beer.) In fact, many customers tell us they prefer the
taste of their all-natural Brew Kettle beer! Start with
a familiar taste, and then expand your beer horizons
by tapping into the huge range of tastes available.
We think, however, that the best flavours come from
the full-mash boxed wort, and from the partial-mash
kettle brews, and we encourage you to invest the extra
week and the few extra dollars for one of these brews.
We
hope to see you soon, at the Brew Kettle. Cheers!

Our
Brewing Processes
Beer
is brewed by boiling selected ingredients
in a kettle. In our original
brewing process the basic ingredients
are malt extracts, adjunct sugars, and
hops. The premium brews in this category
add a bag of specialty grains to the kettle
for additional colour and flavour. The
time required to measure and brew these
beers is about 75 minutes.
 After
a decade of brewing, we looked at all
the beers we had made over the years and
worked the list down to a set of essential
styles that allow us to match some of
the more distinctive tastes that the beer
world has to offer. Then we improved our
recipes, using process changes and more
ingredients to come as close as we could
to the traditional tastes of these styles.
All of these beers can be brewed in 2
hours.
Some
of our beers can also be brewed with a
partial mash process that
uses a large grain basket, with as much
as 5 kilos of malt, to add fermentable
sugars to the wort. Adjunct sugars are
not used, except for colour and flavour.
The mash time is about an hour and the
boiling time is longer, making the total
brewing time about 3 hours.
You
can now also make a batch from a high-quality
pre-brewed wort; the Brew
House brand from RJ Spagnols,
or the Festa
Brew brand from Magnotta. These
are all-grain, full-mash boxed worts that
you start in just 5 minutes.

Keeping

Brew Kettle beers are natural beers, and are not
pasteurized or chemically preserved. They should
be enjoyed within three months of bottling if
kept cool and dark, or sooner if they are stored
at room temperature.
Please
ask us if you have any questions about how to
store your Brew Kettle beer.
