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:
“Actually,
I made it myself!”
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!
Geoff Barley!

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
Your Beers
All
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.

Keg
Rentals
If
you are planning a party, ask about our keg rentals. You
make your favourite Brew Kettle beer, and take it home in
one or more of our kegs. We provide the pump, and a barrel
you can fill with ice to keep your beer cold. It’s
easy and a lot of fun to serve friends your own fresh beer
from the tap! The cost is just $10 per keg for the
rental.

White
Labs liquid yeasts are recommended for the all-grain
boxed wort (Brew House and Festa Brew brands) or the partial
mash brews. Liquid yeasts add more to the flavour profile,
and provide more differentiation between the beer styles.
Please
phone ahead so we can bring it out of the freezer.
White
Labs yeasts are $10.
