Grain Milling
We automatically mill the grains included with SoCal Brewing Supply beer recipe kits so they are ready for brew day. If you want the grains left unmilled, please add that request in the shopping cart notes before checkout. We’ll do our best to support unmilled requests when packing your order.
Fermentation Requirements
Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace. Pitch LalBrew New England into well-aerated wort around 64–68°F, then hold fermentation steady in the mid-to-upper 60s°F. Let the beer finish fully, confirm gravity is stable for 2–3 days, and avoid oxygen pickup during transfer and packaging.

Extract and Steeping-Grain Recipe Note
This version was converted from the earlier partial-mash draft into an extract kit with steeping grains. Briess Golden Light LME and DME provide the fermentable base. Simpsons Golden Naked Oats® supplies steepable oat character, body, and light nutty sweetness without requiring a conversion mash. Use the included large muslin steeping bag for the specialty grains.
Flavor and Brewing Character
Expect dark chocolate, roasted grain, caramel depth, a smooth oat impression, low earthy hop character, and a creamy finish. The goal is rich and rounded, not acrid, syrupy, or overly sweet.
