Your Label Peelers Blood Bath Naranja Chelada 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.
Dive into a world of vibrant flavors with the Blood Bath Naranja Chelada Beer Kit, where every sip is a fiesta for your taste buds. This kit invites you to craft a chelada, a refreshing Mexican classic that combines the crispness of a pilsner with the zesty tang of lime juice and a hint of salt, all served with your favorite rim. But this isn't just any chelada—it's a bold, citrusy adventure with a fiery twist.
Your brewing journey begins with 6 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract, forming the backbone of your beer with a smooth, malty sweetness. The addition of 8 oz. of Caramel 10L and 8 oz. of Carapils Malt adds a subtle caramel undertone and a creamy mouthfeel, creating a perfect canvas for the vibrant flavors to come. As you boil your wort, the aromatic dance of hops begins. The earthy, floral notes of East Kent Goldings Hops blend seamlessly with the bright, citrusy punch of Citra and Amarillo Hops, infusing your brew with layers of complexity.
To ensure a clean fermentation, the Yeast Energizer and Irish Moss Combo Packet work their magic, while the Fermentis Safale US-05 Dry Yeast brings it all to life, transforming your ingredients into a lively, effervescent beer. But the real stars of this show are the 2 oz. of Habanero Flavoring and 2 oz. of Blood Orange Flavoring. The habanero adds a tantalizing heat that dances on your palate, while the blood orange imparts a juicy, tangy sweetness that lingers long after each sip.
With the Blood Bath Naranja Chelada Beer Kit, you're not just brewing beer; you're crafting an experience. It's a symphony of flavors that captures the essence of a sun-drenched afternoon, where the heat of the day is perfectly balanced by the refreshing chill of your homemade chelada. So grab your kit, roll up your sleeves, and let the fiesta begin in your very own kitchen.

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Blood Bath Naranja Chelada beer kit. A great practice for extra protection is to have a spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution so you can re-sanitize everything that touches or goes near your beer. Sanitation is much more difficult with beer than wine because beer has a higher pH. Wine's high acidity makes bacterial infection less likely but with beer, one small mishap can cost you your batch.
When your Blood Bath Naranja Chelada is done, you will need bottles. This standard 12 ounce bottle is a good choice. You will need 54 for a 5 gallon batch. Bottles do not come with caps.
The 5 gallon carboy pictured here is the standard size for any beer kit. If you have never worked with a carboy, it is important to know they should not be moved full without a carboy handle or a carrier.
The pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for any beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch.
Wort Chillers and Thermometers
Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your Blood Bath Naranja Chelada wort quickly. The quicker you chill it the stronger the cold break will be. You also need a good thermometer that reads fast temperature fluctuations.
Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without it again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San.
The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.
Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Hoses are very hard to clean and beer is very susceptible to bacterial infection. You do not want to risk losing your Blood Bath Naranja Chelada over a few feet of unsanitary hose.
Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles.
It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch the beer, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria.
Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria.
Keeping your carboy clean before and after use is key to avoid bacterial infection in your beer. A carboy brush is a great tool to get into those nooks and crannies.
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer is a convenient way of cleaning your bottles and/or carboys. This high quality tool will come in handy. Hooks up straight to your faucet with the bottle washer adapter (#4804) and puts out plenty of pressure to clean those stubborn stains from beer bottles that have been sitting around.
When you bottle your Blood Bath Naranja Chelada, you will need to cap your bottles. This capper is inexpensive, easy to use and does not require attaching to a counter. It has a magnet to hold the cap in place.
DID YOU KNOW
It is likely that the word "mashing" comes from the Old English words "masc" (a soft mixture) and "mæscan" (to mix with hot water).
