Your Label Peelers Always Amber Ale – Extract Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your malt extract and specialty grains are packed fresh to order, ensuring that every ingredient arrives at peak quality. You don’t pay for flashy packaging; instead, you get the freshest ingredients ready to transform into a beer that’s unmistakably yours.
Always Amber Ale – Extract Edition invites you to craft a perfectly balanced amber ale with a rich malt character and a gentle hop presence. Picture a warm, coppery pint where caramel sweetness and toasty undertones come together in harmony; each sip reveals a smooth body, a hint of nutty depth, and a clean finish that leaves you ready for another taste.
Your foundation begins with 6 lbs of light dry malt extract, providing a smooth base for the malt-forward flavor profile. The specialty grains – 0.5 lb of Briess Munich Malt, 0.5 lb of Caramel/Crystal 60L, and 0.25 lb of Victory Malt – layer in a satisfying complexity: toasted bread, subtle caramel, and a soft nuttiness that defines the style.
Hops add balance and nuance. At 60 minutes, 1 oz of Cascade Hops lends a classic bitterness that supports the malt sweetness; 1 oz of Willamette Hops at 15 minutes brings gentle floral and earthy tones; and a final 1 oz of Cascade at flameout imparts a fragrant, citrusy aroma that completes the picture.
Fermented with American Ale Yeast, your brew will finish clean, clear, and exceptionally drinkable – a smooth amber ale that’s as rewarding to make as it is to share. With your Always Amber Ale – Extract Beer Kit, you’re not just brewing beer; you’re creating something personal, flavorful, and fresh from start to finish.
