The Muntons Hand Crafted Old Conkerwood Black Ale Kit is a standout in the Hand Crafted series, giving homebrewers the chance to make a rich, dark ale with real character right in their own space. Unlike many standard kits that aim for lighter, more common beer styles, the Hand Crafted range is formulated to emulate more distinctive, craft-inspired brews with flavour profiles that go beyond the everyday. Each kit in this series has its own carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to produce nuanced, balanced beers that appeal to brewers who want something a bit more substantial and memorable.
This particular kit delivers a black ale with a deep, dark hue that’s reminiscent of autumn conkers and a flavour that’s malt-forward without harsh roast bitterness. You can expect layers of rich malt sweetness, subtle roast notes, gentle chocolate hints, and just enough dry bitterness to keep the finish clean and satisfying. It’s smooth and approachable enough for drinkers who enjoy darker styles but don’t necessarily want the heavier roast punch of a stout.
The beer this kit produces typically sits around 4.5% ABV, making it a sessionable yet flavourful choice that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, rich stews, aged cheeses, and even chocolate desserts. Its darker colour and complex malt profile also make it a fantastic choice for cooler weather sipping or sharing with friends at gatherings.
This is a complete kit, so you won’t need to add extra extract or sugars to hit your target volume — just standard priming sugar for bottle conditioning if you plan to carbonate in bottles. Of course, you’ll need your usual brewing gear: a clean and sanitized fermenter, airlock, yeast (included in the kit), bottling bucket, bottles, caps, and a capper. Temperature control and a hydrometer will help you monitor fermentation and bottle when appropriate.
The Hand Crafted Old Conkerwood Black Ale is perfect for brewers who want a classic dark ale with balanced malt complexity and a smooth drinking experience, all from a kit that’s enjoyable to brew and delicious to drink.
