Robust Flavor & Body: Imparts deep, earthy notes of burnt caramel and dark fruit—perfect for Stouts, Porters, and Old Ales.
Brewing Application: Stir directly into the kettle during the last 10–15 minutes of the boil to sterilize the syrup and prevent scorching.
Recommended Usage Rate: Use 4–8 oz per 5-gallon batch (1.5–3 lbs per bbl) to add distinct character without overwhelming your base malts.
Blackstrap molasses is a robust, highly concentrated syrup used in brewing to impart deep, earthy, burnt caramel, and dark fruit flavors to heavier beer styles like stouts, porters, and old ales. Because it contains a high percentage of unfermentable sugars and intense minerals, it adds rich body to the finished beer but can easily overwhelm a recipe with astringency or a metallic bitterness if overused. Brewers typically incorporate it by stirring it directly into the hot wort during the last 10 to 15 minutes of the boil; this safely sterilizes the syrup while preventing it from sinking and scorching on the bottom of the kettle.
For a standard 5-gallon batch, the typical usage rate is between 4 to 8 oz (by weight), which provides a distinct character without dominating the base malts. For large scale commercial batches, the proportional equivalent is roughly 1.5 to 3 lbs per bbl.
Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn the characteristics of individual hop varietals

We recently had a simple, yet exciting idea: What if we brewed the same recipe, used the same yeast, but changed one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. That way we could take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas! And thus, the Single Hop Experiment was born. This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: Ultralight malt extract, Crystal 15L, Magnum bittering hops, and then a single other hop for the rest of the additions. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically!

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Mosaic® is a registered trademark owned by Yakima Chief Hops, LLC.
This classic German hop has an herbal/floral character and smooth bitterness, making it an ideal choice for brewing lagers, especially traditional pilsners. Hallertau Mittelfruh is one of the original four Noble hops, and is categorized as a "landrace" hop, meaning that it grew and adapted naturally over time in its native region. Its name is derived from the region of Hallertau, the world's largest hop growing region, and the German word mittelfrueh meaning "middle-early", referring to the early middle part of the growing season when it's ready to be harvested. The majority of its oil content comes from Humulene which provides the floral, herbal, and spicy character. Clean, crisp, and perfect for your next pilsner or hoppy lager.

Right out of the gate, Mosaic® hops catapulted into the upper echelon of high-demand aroma hops. Now it's one of those hop varieties that even casual craft beer drinkers are familiar with. A go-to addition for modern West Coast IPAs and an almost ubiquitous choice for Hazy IPAs. Not only does Mosaic® crush it as a standalone in single-hop beers, but it's an addition that just seems to complement and enhance any hop you pair it with. Even with a high alpha content, the intense aroma of fresh pine, mango, blueberry and citrus are the main event when you brew with Mosaic® hops. A reliable workhorse for NEIPAs, Pale Ales, IPAs, and Hoppy Lagers, but this stunning varietal will be a welcome addition in just about any style you brew.

There really is no "Red" style historically, though it has been sort of created in microbreweries around the US. While the Irish Red is about the interesting malt mix this American Red has a more straight forward malt flavor but a very different and interesting hop profile.

Everything you need to get right down to business with the MaltZilla Motorized Grain Mill! This complete kit includes the MaltZilla Grian Mill, Aluminum Hopper, PPE Base Board, and 110V Power Supply.
KegLand put an exceptional amount of time into the research, testing, and development of the MaltZilla, and what they came up with is a motorized grain mill unlike anything we've seen before. It features an integrated motor so you'll never have to mess with a hand crank or power drill to spin the rollers. And the rollers themselves are made with a diamond-impregnated surface that offers superior performance and longevity compared to conventional knurled steel rollers.
The integrated 24V motor is powerful enough to chew through popping corn kernels with ease, and works on voltages from 12-30V DC. The higher the voltage the faster the rollers spin, although we recommend 24V for optimum speed and grist results. The included power supply is straight forward, and allows you to plug the unit into a standard 110V power socket.
Knurled Steel vs. Diamond Coated Rollers
Your run-of-the-mill grain mills are often manufactured with steel rollers with a knurled finish. The knurling helps grip and pull the grain through the rollers, but even the knurling on hardened steel will go blunt eventually and hinder the mill's performance. Some manufacturers attempt to solve this problem by using geared rollers to better grab the grain, or add a third roller to the mill so the first two rollers with a larger gap force the grain into the third roller. These are only workarounds to the real issue—all steel rollers will go blunt eventually, especially if used with hard grains like wheat or corn. In a commercial setting, it’s not uncommon to send the rollers off to a metalworking factory to re-sharpen and re-knurl, but this is an expensive, time-consuming hassle. Many homebrew-scale users might just end up throwing the mill away and purchasing a new one.
The MaltZilla Diamond Mill is quite a different mill design, and it’s the first in the world to use diamonds impregnated into the surface of the roller. Even after many tons of grain are processed through the mill, the diamond surface will stay just as sharp as it was on day one. The sharpness of the diamonds draws grain exceptionally well, and even when hard grains are used the diamond rollers won't dull or slip in performance.
Sheer Instead of Chop
Most mills require aggressive knurling to push into the grain and “chop” the grain as it passes through a tight gap, which means your grains are often chopped in half. The MaltZilla works on a different principle and gap setting is not as critical. The MaltZilla uses impregnated diamonds to grip the surface of the kernel and the friction of pulling the grain through the gap causes a sheering action. When set up correctly, the sheering action can leave the entire husk intact, reducing the chance of stuck sparge and improve efficiency, while still opening the husk enough that the entire contents of the kernel is available to the mashing process. The 70 mm diameter rollers are double the diameter of many other mills, which significantly improves the crush and assists in drawing the grain in more effectively.
Integrated Motor
You generally would not purchase a car without an engine, so why would you purchase a grain mill without a motor? Milling grain has an optimum RPM— too slow and it will take you a long time, too fast and you will end up with excessive powder. Hand cranking can be a pain in the backside, especially with larger grain bills, and using a power drill doesn't offer much in the way of speed control and adds the potential risk of burning out your drill. The MaltZilla has an integrated motor with a very constant RPM putting out optimum RPM with an integrated gearbox. The high torque and sealed construction make it ideal for a brewing environment, as the motor is well protected from moisture and grain dust.
The motor is seamlessly integrated into the side body of the mill. Being DC, the motor is safer than higher voltage AC, especially in an environment where splashing and hose spray are commonplace. The DC motor is also reversible so the direction of spin can be changed based on the polarity. This is particularly useful for over-mount and under-mount installation.
Kit Includes:
MaltZilla Grain Mill (12-30V DC)
Power Supply (110V)
Polypropylene base baord
Aluminum hopper
6-gallon plastic bucket
17-blade gap thickness measuring tool
Please note: This mill is designed for use with brewing grains only. It will not work for cracking whole kernel corn.
Amarillo® hops enjoy a special place of adoration in the hearts of brewers. Often described as a supercharged version of Cascade. Bursting with floral, tropical, and citrus (lemon, orange and grapefruit) characteristics, but it has a distinctive Orange character to it that is very different from Cascade. An excellent choice of super hoppy beer styles like Hazy IPA or West Coast IPA, Pale Ales, or Hoppy Lagers. But really, it's an excellent addition to any beer where you want citrus flavors to pop.

Turnkey Commercial Cold Brew Production: Streamlines small-scale batch brewing for cafes, roasteries, and craft breweries, eliminating the messy, backbreaking labor of traditional methods.
No-Lift Side-Manway Cleanout: Features a horizontal door and chute to easily rake out spent grounds into a waste bin, removing workplace lifting hazards.
Dual-Stage Nested Filtration: Utilizes a progressive fine and extra-fine mesh bag system supported by a slotted false bottom to guarantee sediment-free, brilliant liquid clarity.
Heavy-Duty Dished Bottom Drain: Built from premium 304 stainless steel with a center-mounted Tri-Clamp port to harvest every last drop of extract without tilting the vessel.
Flexible Packaging Integration: Equipped with a sanitary 1.5" butterfly valve for seamless, low-oxygen closed transfers directly into kegs, bottles, or canning lines.
Commercial cold brew production has traditionally been a messy, backbreaking process. Hoisting 40 pounds of soaking-wet coffee grounds straight up out of a flat-bottom plastic bucket is a workplace hazard waiting to happen. To make matters worse, struggling with cloudy sediment leads to clogged draft lines, chalky mouthfeel, and drastically shortened product shelf life.
The BrewBuilt® CB1 completely redefines small-scale commercial cold brew production.
Built on our heavy-duty, 304 stainless steel bottom-drain chassis, this turnkey system eliminates overhead lifting, guarantees brilliant liquid clarity, and adapts to any packaging workflow. Whether you run a bustling cafe, a roasting facility, or a craft brewery, the CB1 delivers a high-yield solution designed to protect both your back and your brew.
Key Design Innovations
Ergonomic Side-Manway Cleanout
The CB1 features an integrated, rectangular side-manway door. Instead of lifting heavy, dripping bags up and out of the vessel, operators simply open the front door and easily slide or rake spent coffee grounds out horizontally into a waste bin.
Progressive Dual-Stage Filtration
Achieve unmatched clarity without the need for expensive secondary paper filters. The CB1 utilizes a stacked filtration system featuring a Fine mesh bag nested inside an X-Fine mesh bag.
Heavy-Duty Drawstrings: Both commercial-grade bags feature rugged drawstrings that cinch tightly around the rim of the kettle, keeping them securely locked in place during the steep.
The Slotted False Bottom Advantage: As seen in the cross-section view, the nested bags rest completely flat on a heavy-gauge, slotted stainless steel false bottom. This structural support keeps the fabric elevated above the true dished bottom, preventing the weight of the coffee grounds from plugging the drain hole and ensuring an unrestricted, rapid extract flow.
Total Packaging Flexibility
The sanitary 1.5" Tri-Clamp bottom butterfly valve acts as a modular launchpad for your finished product. Once the steep is complete, you can gravity-drain the kettle with precision control:
Kegging: Perform flawless, low-oxygen closed transfers directly into purged beverage kegs.
Bottling & Canning: Hook up directly to counter-pressure bottle fillers, BeerGuns, or small-scale canning lines.
Product Features & Specifications
Premium 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Brewery-grade, sanitary construction that is impervious to flavor stains, easy to sanitize, and built for a lifetime of daily service.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Sometimes you just want a reliable, simple beer that you know will quench your thirst. Our Reina del Sol Lager is modeled after the most popular Mexican-style lager in the U.S., Corona Extra. Whether you're relaxing under the sun on a pool day or getting beat down by merciless rays on a chore day, you can always count on this crisp, refreshing Mexican Cerveza to cool you off. In that fashion, we designed a straightforward recipe that consists of Pilsner malt, flaked corn and a scoop of Carapils with two dashes of Galena hops to provide just a kiss of bitterness.
To make it a true to form cerveza, ferment cold with a Mexican yeast strain like CellarScience® BAJA. Originally developed and popularized by the Modelo Group, this Mexican yeast strain produces clean lagers and finishes dry.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
One of the quintessential English hops, Fuggle is prized for its earthy, floral, and understated fruit characteristics. Primarily used as an aroma hop, it will give your beer a "British" flavor that is distinct from the popular Northwestern varieties like Cascade, Centennial, Columbus or Chinook. Fuggle is generally associated with delicate and pleasant mint, grass, and floral tones. Fuggle is a fine choice when making any English Ales, including Bitter, ESB, Pale Ale, Stout, Strong Ale, Cask Ale, and many more.

Our Saison kit brings the flavor of the old world to the backyards and picnics of today. Generous amounts of Munich Extract give the beer a light backbone of malt, while the CaraMunich lends body and character.

We recently had a simple, yet exciting idea: What if we brewed the same recipe, used the same yeast, but changed one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. That way we could take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas! And thus, the Single Hop Experiment was born. This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: Ultralight malt extract, Crystal 15L, Magnum bittering hops, and then a single other hop for the rest of the additions. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically!

The Artisan Hops® Hop Shot is an easy way to boost IBUs without adding vegetal matter to your beer. This CO2 hop extract is made from 100% Centennial hops, which will impart a slight citrus, floral character to your beer. 1 mL boiled in 5 gallons of 1.050 wort for 60 minutes will add approximately 9 IBUs.
Add to boiling wort only. We recommend softening the extract before use. Place the syringe in a warm glass of water at the beginning of your brew day, or create a slurry by adding the extract directly to a small amount of pre-boiled water.

Our OG American Pale Ale recipe with the malt and hop character kicked up a notch
Includes Magnum, Cascade and Willamette hops
Estimated ABV: 5.3%
Estimated IBUs: 57
Makes 5 gallons of finished beer
Looking for the perfect American Pale Ale to share with friends this summer? Do you like a Pale Ale with a rich malt flavor and a ton of hop character but without an overwhelming bitterness? Then the Pale Ale II should be your next brew.
We took our American Pale Ale recipe and upped the malt, threw a ton of hops in the finish for flavor, but kept the bitterness the same. We think toning down the perceived bitterness is one reason we consistently get great reviews from brewers sharing this with friends.
Keeping it real: Part of the success of this kit is blending a lot of Willamette and Cascade hops in the finish. This isn't a wild, new or crazy idea... this is old school. Cascade and Willamette were the hops that helped put craft brewing on the map in the 1980's. The reason they are still so popular... they make a damn good beer.
Truly delectable and different yet still keeping it real.

Morgan and Steve, the brewers and co-owners, opened Ale Industries with one thing in mind - to not brew the same beers that everyone else is brewing. Their first beer, a hybrid Witbier called "Orange Kush" (thereafter called Golden State of Mind) , is more malty and aromatic than most commercial wits are.

Additional notes from MoreBeer! as we really love this hop!
For many years Sabro™ brand HBC 438 has been unofficially referred to as Ron Mexico due to its native US neomexicanus hop heritage, and was once one of the more difficult hops to get your hands on. It developed such a huge cult following in the brewing community that you can trace the recent boom in available neomexicanus hop varieties back to HBC 438. Sabro is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream. Sabro’s pedigree is the result of a unique cross pollination of a female neomexicanus hop. With a robust brewing performance, Sabro proves to be a strongly expressive hop that translates its flavor incredibly well into beer.
Vinnie of Russian River Brewing once used this hop in an experimental beer brewed for the National Homebrewers Conference, which was an absolute hit. We recently toured Russian River's new Windsor brewery with Vinnie, and he still raves about this hop and will happily talk about the origin of the Ron Mexico alias with a Cheshire grin on his face. We think you'll absolutely love this hop for brewing juicy, tropical pale ales and IPAs!

Jim was looking for a dark, smooth, creamy mouth feel stout just like an Australian stout he had tasted years ago. Over the years, Jim found a clone that was close but needed some small changes. After many trials and test batches, he came up with this recipe that is very drinkable when it is fresh. It will get smoother with a couple months of aging and creaminess added by the lactose makes this a very good winter warming stout. Jim hopes you enjoy this beer as much as he has.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
