The Muntons Quality Guarantee Muntons is globally renowned for its heritage and uncompromising dedication to malt quality.

Tucked safely under the lid is a premium ale yeast chosen specifically to ensure a vigorous fermentation and a clean, traditional ale character.
What Else Do You Need? To brew this kit, you will need basic homebrewing equipment and 1kg (2.2 lbs) of additional fermentables:
-
For a standard brew: Use 1kg of Brewing Sugar (Dextrose).
-
For a true "Pub Quality" Ale (Highly Recommended): We strongly suggest upgrading your brew by using 1kg of Light or Amber Dry Malt Extract (DME), or a liquid Brew Enhancer instead of plain sugar. This will dramatically improve the malt body, mouthfeel, and head retention—essential for a great Traditional Bitter!
Serve & Enjoy! For the most authentic experience, serve this ale at traditional cellar temperature (around 10-12°C / 50-54°F) or lightly chilled. Perfect for a relaxing evening, pairing with a hearty roast dinner, or sharing a proper pint with friends.***
