Get brewing today with everything measured out and ready. This Sahti recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Sahti, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.
Sahti is a Finnish farmhouse ale brewed the same way for centuries, one of the last living examples of a truly archaic beer. The mash is traditionally run off through a trough packed with juniper branches, and the beer takes no hops at all, relying on juniper for both flavor and a rough preservative bite.
It is strong and cloudy, often close to ten percent, with a dense body and a resinous juniper aroma sitting alongside banana from the yeast. The old method skips the boil, which gives it a raw, bready character unlike anything in the modern beer world. Juniper berries are central to the style, so you add your own to the brew.
Your Sahti 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.
