Fresh3 | Drop Bear Draught | Pseudo Lager | Fresh Wort Kit

Watch the Skies. Drink the Beer.

Legend says they drop from the gum trees to terrorize unsuspecting tourists. But our Drop Bear Draught is dropping straight into your fermenter to save you from over-complicated brew days.

If you’re hunting for that classic, no-nonsense pub taste, this is the ultimate Carlton Draught style recipe. It’s crisp, it’s golden, and it goes down faster than a koala falling out of a stringybark tree.

We’ve done all the heavy lifting on the brew house side, but the real magic happens when you release the beast by pairing this kit with VELO by CellarScience.

Why This Kit Rules the Bush:

• The Lazy Bear Ferment: Got no temperature control or fancy fermentation fridges? No worries. Stick this kit in the corner of a room, behind the couch, or in the garage, and just watch it do its thing.
• Fast & Furious: Traditional lager strains make you wait through long, agonizing, cold lagering periods. Not this one. Velo lets you ferment hot and fast, wrapping up a clean brew in just a matter of days.
• Sneaky Clean Finish: Don’t let the warm ferment fool you.. this pseudo-lager finishes incredibly clean, crisp, and refreshing. It’s got all the commercial draught flavor with none of the hassle.

If you love a classic Carlton Draught but want a brewing process that’s completely stress-free, the Drop Bear is ready to ambush your tap list.

What is a Fresh³ Full Recipe Kit?

Fresh³ is for the brewing time-poor, the newcomer, or the lover of world-class craft beer who wants commercial results without the 8-hour brew day. We’ve done the mashing and the boiling for you... your job is to ferment, keg, and enjoy.

The "IKEA" of Brewing

We often liken Fresh³ to building furniture from IKEA. You didn’t harvest the timber or cut the boards from scratch, but you’ll be damn proud of what you’ve assembled. (And unlike that flat-pack wardrobe, you’ll be drinking this achievement with friends in a week or two!)

By using our freshly brewed wort, you’re getting a tried and proven recipe that is significantly cheaper than buying ready-made craft beer from the bottle-o. No Allen keys... or grain mills necessary.

Quality You Can Trust

• Full Recipe Kits: Every Fresh³ kit includes the fresh wort, specific yeast strains, and premium hops (where required) to ensure you get exactly the flavor profile we intended.
• Premium Ingredients: We use world-class malts and the freshest hop pellets to ensure your homebrew tastes like a pros.
• Optimized for Kegerators: As specialists in Kegerators and draught systems, we design these kits specifically for kegging. While you can bottle or can these recipes, they are crafted to shine when served cold and carbonated from a tap.
