Why Choose BIB Kits?

Black Rock’s Bag-in-Box range is the easiest way to brew brewery-quality craft beer at home. No more sugar additions, no more second can, no more heating cans — just mix the bag with water, pitch the yeast, and away it goes!

This is the same wort sold to professional microbreweries, repackaged for home brewers who want top-tier results without the complexity of all-grain brewing.

Why Choose Black Rock?

Crafted in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, Black Rock kits are brewed using only the finest New Zealand malts before being concentrated down for your convenience. This means you can create authentic craft beer at home without the costly, time-consuming all-grain process.

Whether you’re enjoying a glass after mowing the lawn, hosting a barbecue, or just want a crisp, easy-drinking lager in the fridge, Black Rock Classic Lager is a reliable favourite for any occasion.

 

Looking For A Food Match? The Black Rock BIB Crafted Hazy IPA Goes Well With…. 

1. Chicken Burgers: Light, lean chicken with a hint of char complements the clean malt and subtle bitterness.

2. Salt and Pepper Squid: Crispy, lightly spiced seafood plays well with the lager’s refreshing finish and balanced hop character.

3. Margherita Pizza: Classic tomato, basil, and mozzarella balance well with the beer’s light malt and bitterness.

4.Thai Chicken Salad: Savory, salty, and a little tangy — ideal with the crisp, clean finish of the lager.

5.Cheese Platters: The beer’s gentle bitterness cuts through the richness of semi-hard cheeses.

Additional Fermentables Required

None. Everything you need is already in the BIB — no sugar, no second can.

 

Optional Extras

Boost your brew with these recommended extras for better flavour, fermentation, and finish:

Craft Yeast
The Craft IPA does include 1x SafAle US-05 (11.5g) craft yeast. To improve fermentation consider adding a second SafAle US-05 and using a total of 23g.

Note: When using craft yeast always check the ideal fermentation termperature range for that yeast. 

Yeast Nutrients
Add yeast nutrient to support a healthy fermentation, ensuring your yeast performs at its best for full attenuation and a consistent result.

Finings
For crystal-clear beer, use finings in the final 24–48 hours before bottling. This helps remove sediment, improves flavour stability, and gives your lager a polished, professional look.
