St Peters Ruby Red Ale is a delicious tawny red ale with subtle malt undertones and a distinctive spicy hop aroma.
St. Peters Brewery is situated in beautiful unspoiled countryside in north Suffolk close to the historic market town of Bungay. St. Peters Hall is the centerpiece of the brewery site and dates from around 1280. In 1539 the East wing was added using materials from the nearby Flixton Nunnery, which was one of a dozen Monastic houses given to Cardinal Wolsey by King Henry VIII to finance the building of a school in Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk.
Then as today, Suffolk barley was carefully malted to brew beers and that tradition lives on today in the St Peters brewery.
This kit contains: Full instructions, 2 x tins of malt extract, 1 x sachet of brewing yeast and 1 x hop sachet. Makes approximately 40 Pints (23 Litres) of 4.3% ABV beer.

Customers appreciate the beer's value for money. They say it's worth the price increase.
Tried a few kits and this one definitely turned out the best. Lovely end result, great flavour and I can only imagine the flavour will get better as I age it a bit. Worth the money.
I first tasted this yesterday evening after a hard work at week.. It has a nice caramel tones to it. It comes with a white powderd hops for dry hopping (thought this was weird.. But went with it)
I brewed this with extra muntons beer kit enhancer (doesn't need this really) & fermented with a Young's brew belt, average fermenting temp was 24 degrees for 6 days. 23.5 litres of wort gave me 22.5 litres of beer..a full litre of trub left over!
I racked this into mini kegs and wrapped the heater belt around it for a week at around 22 degrees for 5 days, then outside in my shed (currently winter around 9 degrees) for 7 days... The then opened first mini keg yesterday.. used the brewferm party star mini keg dispense system to pour (see my review on that how to best use it)
Overall taste: subtle caramel taste and subtle bitter taste.. Very rich in taste overall!
Absolutely superb! If ale is your thing you can't go wrong with this. As good if not better than similar products you'd buy in bottles/cans. I'm looking at you abbot ale and bishops finger etc. No brewing sugar or anything else required with these two can kits. So although they may look a little more expensive they actually arent. I suggest letting it age for a few weeks after priming for best results. Based on how good this came out I'll be trying other st peters kits. I actually already bought the stout and will be starting that off soon. And a new batch of this will definitely be in the cards soon
I bought this for my son. This is the second one he has had. He finds it easy to brew and both he and my husband enjoy drinking very much. They like the taste and would recommend it.
I love using these. The quality, once conditioned is great. I flavour mine with extra hops and you can modify or tweak the recipe with ease to adjust strength or flavour.
