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.

 

Additional Fermentables Required

To get the best from this brew, you’ll need to add fermentables. Choose one of the following options depending on your style preference:

Option One: The Basics Brew
Use Liquid Brewing Sugar or Dextrose.
For better body and head retention when using Dextrose, we recommend Premium Blend Light over straight dextrose.

Option Two: Crisp and Light
Use 1kg Extra Light Dry Malt Extract for a clean flavour profile, subtle malt character, and a refreshing, crisp finish.

Option Three: Smooth and Satisfying
For a fuller mouthfeel and smooth finish, use Liquid Malt Extract.
Choose Black Rock Ultra Light or Brick Road Extra Light for best results.

Note: We don’t recommend using Light Malt or darker alternatives with this kit, as they can overpower the intended flavour.

Optional Extras

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

Craft Yeast
Upgrade your fermentation by using a quality craft yeast.

Option One: For this lager, we recommend 2 x packets of Mangrove Jack’s M54 (20g total) to deliver cleaner flavour and a more refined finish.

Option Two: For floral notes go with the 2 x SafLager S-189 (23g total), or for fruity, estery lagers go with the 2 x SafLager S-23 (23g total).

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.
