The Harvest Moon Rye Pale Ale Beer Kit offers a well-balanced combination of crisp pale ale character and the distinctive spice of rye malt. Designed for homebrewers seeking complexity and depth, this all-grain kit produces a medium-bodied ale with a bold yet approachable flavor profile.
At its core, this Rye Pale Ale showcases a layered malt backbone, starting with 7 lbs of Pale Malt for a clean, slightly bready base. 2 lbs of Rye Malt introduce a signature sharpness and a touch of earthy spice, adding depth and texture. A small addition of Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (0.5 lb) contributes mild caramel sweetness and a hint of toasted richness, balancing the rye’s bold presence.
The hop bill enhances the complexity with a carefully timed blend of additions. Magnum Hops (0.5 oz, 60 min) provide a firm yet smooth bitterness, while Cascade Hops (1 oz, 15 min) impart classic citrus and floral notes. A final touch of Citra Hops (0.5 oz, 5 min) introduces bright, tropical fruit aromatics, rounding out the beer with layers of citrus zest and subtle floral undertones.
Fermented with Safale US-05 Ale Yeast, this ale achieves a crisp, clean finish, allowing the interplay of rye spice and hop brightness to shine.
