Resilience | to You!

Like you we have experienced deep despair at the environmental, animal, human, social and economic damage inflicted by the devastating bushfires that have swept far and wide across this great land all summer.  The bushfires continue to rage against the magnificent men and women in their flying and driving machines with reckless abandon.  We can all feel helpless at times like these, unless your trained and able to fight the fires or heal the wounded you wonder what can I do in my small part of the economy and ecology to help out?

We can, all take action in our everyday lives to first and foremost mitigate our impact on mother earth and tread more lightly on the planet.  If that means taking a bicycle instead of the car to the shops or work your already helping to abate carbon and improve your health and wellbeing and the list goes on and on...here at BeerCo.com.au we are doing our little bit ...having already donated 80 sacks of Oats, Barley, Rice and Malt to the Victorian Federated Farmers Fodder Drive and we are pleased to launch a Resilience | Beer | All Grain Kit with the proceeds donated to World Wildlife Fund | Australia.

Hang in there, be Resilient, after each tragedy there is opportunity and we all hop that leaders of our industry, government and community all do their little bit like you to turn back the tide on the climate crisis.  Together we can all do out little bit and make a combined BIG change to the climate around here!

$5.95/1Kg - $89.25/25Kg (SAVE 40%)

Crisp Cara Malt is a very low colour Crystal Malt which has an almost completely glassy endosperm. It contains a greater degree of sweetness than Crystal Malt and the harsher nutty roasted flavours are not present.

Crisp Cara Malt greatly improves body, foam retention and beer stability whilst adding little colour. It has therefore, become very popular in the production of lagers where it is used to assist in enhancing flavour and character. For this reason it has also become a common constituent in low alcohol beers.

Sweet Caramel, Malty flavour Crisp Cara Malt is good in all beer styles up to 15% for body, foam and mouthfeel.

Pack Sizes:

  • 1 Kg Bag $5.95
  • 5 Kg Bag $23.80 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)
  • 25 Kg Sack $89.25 (SAVE 20% on 1Kg Price)

Strata® US Hops - NEW!
Strata® US Hops - NEW!
$10.95/100g - $383.25/5Kg (SAVE 30% OFF 100g Price)

Strata®, was developed at Oregon State University and originally known as X331. Flavors will remind you of grapefruit & pine and help round out a clean bite of a classic West Coast style India Pale Ale.

All experimentation points to Strata® being very versatile dual-purpose hop variety. Bittering with Strata® brings a nice balanced bitterness. Flavor and aroma additions bring out the fruity side with tropical fruit and fresh berry brightness. Brewers say that dry hopping deepens the grapefruit and dank/herbal/cannabis elements. At this point, it has been used mostly in IPAs, Pale Ales, and Session IPAs, but could work well in everything from Saisons to Lagers.

Aroma:

  • Passion Fruit, Grapefruit, Strawberry, Dank, Herbal, Cannabis

Analytical Data:

  • Harvest Year: 2019 | Lot: 1406 | Alpha Acid 17.0% | Beta Acid 6.8% | Total Oil 3.1mL/100g

Resilience Beer is a project that arose in the wake of unprecedented bushfires in Australia during late 2019 and early 2020. It came from a desire in the local beer industry to find ways to support those impacted by and fighting the fires both now and in the future.  Proceeds from the sale of Resilience - Beer - BeerCo All Grain Recipe Kit will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund - Australia Bushfire Emergency Appeal.
