Coastal Wheat Ale Beer Kit - All Grain

Coastal Wheat Ale Beer Kit - All Grain is your gateway to crafting a refreshing wheat ale that bursts with a smooth blend of citrus and floral notes, perfect for those warm weather days. As you embark on this brewing adventure, you'll find that the combination of 4 lbs of Maris Otter Malt and 3 lbs of White Wheat Malt creates a light creaminess that forms the backbone of this delightful brew. The wheat base not only adds a touch of smoothness but also sets the stage for the zesty hop profile that follows.

Your brewing journey begins with the addition of 1 oz. of Hallertau Hops, which are boiled for 60 minutes, infusing your ale with a subtle, earthy bitterness that balances the sweetness of the malt. As you progress, you'll introduce 0.5 oz of Cascade Hops at the 15-minute mark, bringing a burst of floral and citrus aromas that dance on your palate. Finally, a hint of tropical fruitiness is achieved with 0.5 oz of Citra Hops added just 5 minutes before the end of the boil, ensuring a refreshing finish that lingers pleasantly.

To bring it all together, you'll pitch a packet of Safbrew WB-06 Dry Wheat Beer Yeast, which works its magic to ferment your brew into a crisp, effervescent ale. This yeast strain is known for enhancing the wheat character while allowing the hop flavors to shine through, resulting in a well-balanced and satisfying beer. Whether you're a seasoned homebrewer or just starting out, this kit provides everything you need to create a beer that's as enjoyable to make as it is to drink. So grab your Coastal Wheat Ale Beer Kit - Extract and get ready to enjoy a taste of the coast in every sip.
