Kettle Sour Fresh Wort Kit – Fresh3

The Kettle Sour Fresh Wort Kit – Fresh3 is the ideal starting point for brewers who want to create bright, refreshing and highly customisable sour beers without spending an entire day brewing from scratch. Professionally brewed and packaged, this 100% all grain wort gives you the flexibility to craft your own unique sour beer while eliminating the need for mashing, sparging and boiling.

Fresh3 stands for Freshness Cubed. Every kit contains premium all grain wort made from real brewing ingredients with no dextrose, dried malt extract or other cost-cutting adjuncts. The wort is aseptically filled into a durable 15-litre HDPE bag to help preserve freshness until you’re ready to ferment.

Unlike complete fresh wort recipe kits, the Kettle Sour Fresh Wort Kit – Fresh3 is supplied as a standalone brewing base. No yeast or additional hops are included, allowing you to select the fermentation profile and flavour additions that best suit your own recipe.

Designed for Creative Sour Brewing

This versatile sour base has been inspired by modern Berliner Weisse brewing, offering a refreshing tart character with slightly more body and strength than many traditional examples.

The clean grain bill provides an excellent canvas for creating a wide variety of beer styles, including:

• Berliner Weisse
• Fruited sour ales
• Sour New England IPA
• Tropical sour pale ales
• Berry sours
• Citrus sour beers
• Passionfruit sours
• Seasonal fruit beers

You can also experiment with natural fruit, fruit purées, citrus zest or food-grade flavourings to create your own signature recipe.

Flavour and Aroma Profile

The combination of Pale Ale malt and Wheat malt creates a clean, light-bodied beer with excellent head retention and a refreshing mouthfeel. Wheat contributes a soft texture while helping support haze in modern sour beer styles.

Warrior hops provide a restrained bitterness that allows the sour character and fruit additions to remain the focus of the finished beer.

Because this is a brewing base rather than a finished recipe, the final flavour profile depends on the yeast, bacteria, fruit and other ingredients you choose to use.
