This is the simplest way to brew all-grain beer at home. This Gose recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Gose, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.
Gose comes from Goslar in the Harz mountains and made its name in Leipzig, where it became the local specialty. It is an old sour wheat beer seasoned with coriander and salt, the salt a trace of the mineral water the style grew up on. It nearly died out in the twentieth century and survived because a handful of Leipzig holdouts kept brewing it.
The beer pours pale and cloudy and drinks tart and quenching, with a light saline snap that sets it apart from other sours. Modern brewers often push it toward fruit, and this recipe is set up for a passion fruit version, so you add the fruit puree yourself to taste.
Your Gose recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew. All you add is water.
Water treatment salts and any specialty extras are noted with the recipe.

This kit includes Hallertau Mittelfrüh in place of the recipe's Hallertauer Hersbrucker. We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle K-97 (German Ale / Kölsch) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's German Ale (Wyeast Labs 1007). Not included, add your own: 3 lbs passion fruit puree.
