Perfect for warm-weather drinking, this kit invites you to explore the art of brewing with ease and enjoyment. You'll start with 6 lbs of Wheat Dry Malt Extract (DME), which lays the foundation for that classic wheat ale character. The addition of 0.5 lb of Carapils (Dextrin) Malt enhances the body and mouthfeel, ensuring each sip is satisfyingly smooth.
Your hop schedule is designed to balance and elevate the citrus notes. You'll begin with 1 oz of Saaz Hops for a 60-minute boil, providing a gentle bitterness that complements the sweetness of the malt. As you progress, 0.5 oz of Cascade Hops at the 15-minute mark introduces a floral and citrus aroma, while another 0.5 oz with 5 mins remaining locks in those vibrant notes. The real magic happens when you add 1 oz of Sweet Orange Peel during the last 5 minutes of the boil, infusing your brew with a zesty punch that dances on the palate.
To bring it all together, you'll pitch a packet of Wheat Yeast, which ferments beautifully to enhance the beer's natural fruitiness and create that crisp, clean finish you crave.
