Brew a crisp and refreshing light lager with our Michelob Ultra Clone Beer Kit – Extract. Designed for homebrewers seeking a clean, well-balanced light beer, this kit replicates the smooth taste and light body of the popular commercial brew. The combination of high-quality ingredients ensures a bright, subtly malty flavor with a touch of hop character.

Crafted with 5 lbs of Pilsen Light Liquid Malt Extract, this beer kit delivers a delicate malt foundation, while 1 lb of Flaked Rice contributes to its signature light body and dry finish. A carefully selected blend of Saaz hops (0.5 oz for bittering, 0.5 oz for aroma) provides a mild, earthy spice and floral aroma, enhancing the crisp lager profile without overpowering bitterness.

For a crystal-clear appearance, Irish Moss is included to help with protein coagulation during the boil. Yeast Energizersupports a healthy fermentation, ensuring a smooth and clean finish. The SafLager 34/70 yeast ferments efficiently at lower temperatures, producing a true-to-style lager with a balanced, slightly grainy sweetness and ultra-refreshing drinkability.

This premium beer kit is perfect for homebrewers looking to craft a light lager with a crisp, clean taste and a smooth mouthfeel. Enjoy a homebrewed version of Michelob Ultra, made with high-quality ingredients for a satisfying, easy-drinking beer.
