Premium Range Barley Wine Kit

The Muntons Premium Range Barley Wine Kit brings one of the grandest and most rewarding beer styles into your homebrewing lineup. Part of the historic Premium range that’s been trusted by brewers since the early 1970s, this kit is built with 100% hopped malt extract and no cheap adjuncts for a traditional flavour profile that celebrates strength, complexity, and depth.

Barley wine is a beer style known for its rich body, intense malt character, and elevated alcohol content. While it takes its name from its wine-like strength, this is unmistakably beer — bold and full-flavoured, perfect for special occasions or slow sipping. When brewed, it develops layers of deep malt sweetness, gentle hop balancing, and complex aromas that evolve over time. Serve it slightly un-chilled to fully appreciate the nuances and warmth this style has to offer.

This kit makes a generous batch that brewers often reserve for longer aging or sharing with friends. Many brewers enjoy putting a few bottles away for months or even years, watching the flavours mellow and marry, creating a truly memorable drinking experience. Because of its strength and depth, barley wine pairs beautifully with rich foods – think braised meats, mature cheeses, fruit preserves, and even dessert courses – where the beer’s sweetness and savoury complexity can hold its own and elevate the whole meal.

The Premium Range Barley Wine Kit is ideal for brewers who want to explore beyond the everyday ale or lager, offering an inventive challenge and a chance to produce something profound and truly worth showcasing at your next gathering.

Requires 1kg of Dextrose, or a Beer Enhance Pack.

In addition to the malt extract can itself and the yeast packet that comes under the lid, you’ll also want basic brewing additions like:

• Priming sugar or carbonation drops for bottle conditioning later

• Optionally finings to help clear the beer if desired

• Standard brewing supplies such as sanitizer, a fermenter, airlock, siphon, bottles, and caps to package the finished beer.
