Sexy Blonde Beer Kit

Description

Your Sexy Blonde gives you a light and crisp flavor with hints of honey and toasted malt from the Pale Malt and Gambrinus Honey Malt, plus a subtle citrus aroma from the Simcoe hops and Dry Lemon Peel. The body stays light and effervescent with a smooth finish and slight hop bitterness from the Warrior addition, while the White Labs California Ale yeast ferments clean so the malt and hop notes stay forward.

Your Label Peelers Sexy Blonde Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.

Instructions

Hop Schedule

• 60 minutes: 1 oz Warrior Hop Pellets
• 15 minutes: 1 oz Simcoe Hop Pellets
• 5 minutes: 1 oz Simcoe Hop Pellets

1. Add 2 gallons of water into your brew kettle and heat to 150-160 degrees F. Pour your specialty grains into the muslin bag and add into your water. Keep water at this temp for 20-30 minutes, steeping the bag every few minutes. Remove grain bag and sparge with warm water to get the most from your grains.
2. Bring water to near boil. Remove boiling pot from heat and add the malt extracts. Once all of your malt extract is dissolved, return to heat. When the wort starts to boil again, add bittering hops to large bag and FOLLOW HOP SCHEDULE ABOVE adding hops to the same large bag. Don't forget the spice pack added with 20 minutes remaining.
3. After 45 minutes, add Irish moss (Optional Clarifier-Sold Separately) and boil for final 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and cool the wort to around 70 degrees with an immersion chiller or an ice bath. Transfer your cool wort to a sanitized primary fermenter and top up to 5 gallons with cool, clean water.
5. Pitch your yeast and ferment for 5-7 days at around 65-75 degrees. Once fermentation slows, transfer beer into secondary. Let sit for a minimum of 2-3 weeks at fermentation temperatures to assure fermentation is complete.
6. Carefully transfer into bottling bucket that has priming sugar dissolved in bottom (or carbonate in a soda keg if you prefer kegging). When the transfer is complete, bottle as normal. Let bottles sit for at least 2-4 weeks before drinking to ensure full carbonation. Enjoy!
