Here is FWK Creative Extra Light, an ultra-light base perfect for brewing very pale beers such as a bright pilsner, IPL, or perhaps a blonde ale. You get to decide how to proceed with your choice of yeast, dry hops, and any other creative touches. We encourage experimentation! Yeast and dry hops are not included and must be ordered separately. Please note that this product comes with Norwegian description on the box label, and a Norwegian instruction is included inside the box. The wort in FWK Creative Extra Light is brewed with 75% Pilsner malt and 25% flaked maize. Magnum hops are used at 60 minutes of the boil, and Perle is added in the whirlpool during brewing.You can decide whether to add water based on your desired outcome.

Other additions: Vanilla, coriander/spices, lemon/lime/orange peel. Hop and Yeast Suggestions: We encourage experimentation, but it can be helpful to have some concrete suggestions. Here are some ideas: Pilsner: Use Saflager S-189/W34/70 yeast, or for a crisper, more flavorful pilsner, try LalBrew Diamond Lager. Corona-style Pilsner: Ferment with WLP940 Mexican Lager at 10-13°C—no additional hop additions needed. Sour: Create a fresh sour by pitching Philly Sour, letting it work for 3-4 days, then adding US-05 yeast. Flavor with fruit purées like raspberry or passion fruit—sour fruits pair exceptionally well! IPL (India Pale Lager): Ferment with NovaLager and dry-hop with Citra and/or Mosaic. Alternatively, try Cascade and Amarillo. American Blonde Ale: Use US-05 yeast and dry-hop with 100g of Citra, Mosaic, or El Dorado for a fun twist! Belgian Blonde: Use Fermentis BE-256 or Lallemand Farmhouse yeast. Experiment with coriander and orange peel for a unique flavor profile. FWK Creative is also excellent for using up leftover hops!Read about each hop’s aroma profile and choose combinations that sound appealing—this is fun, and you’ll often be surprised by new hop pairings!
