Get brewing today with everything measured out and ready. This Sahti recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Sahti, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Sahti is a Finnish farmhouse ale brewed the same way for centuries, one of the last living examples of a truly archaic beer. The mash is traditionally run off through a trough packed with juniper branches, and the beer takes no hops at all, relying on juniper for both flavor and a rough preservative bite.

It is strong and cloudy, often close to ten percent, with a dense body and a resinous juniper aroma sitting alongside banana from the yeast. The old method skips the boil, which gives it a raw, bready character unlike anything in the modern beer world. Juniper berries are central to the style, so you add your own to the brew.

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Sahti. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
