Are you ready to embark on a brewing adventure that will transport your taste buds to a realm of relaxation and tranquility? Look no further than our High Tea Herbal Ale beer kit! Crafted with precision and passion, this kit combines the soothing properties of chamomile with a delightful blend of ingredients to create a truly unique and refreshing brew.

Imagine a deep reddish elixir, shimmering in your glass, beckoning you to take a sip. As you raise the glass to your lips, the subtle hop bitterness dances on your tongue, instantly melting away the stresses of the day. This is not your ordinary beer; it's a symphony of flavors that will redefine your perception of what a beer can be.

At the heart of this extraordinary brew lies the essence of chamomile. Revered for centuries for its calming properties, chamomile adds a touch of serenity to every sip. The delicate chamomile aromatics intertwine with the other ingredients, creating a harmonious balance that is both soothing and invigorating.

To achieve this remarkable flavor profile, we've carefully selected the finest ingredients. The foundation of this brew is built upon 4 lbs. of Wheat Dry Malt Extract, providing a solid base for the other flavors to shine. We've also added 1 lb. of Honey Malt, infusing a subtle sweetness that complements the chamomile beautifully.

But we didn't stop there. To add depth and complexity, we've included 1 lb. of Biscuit Malt, lending a warm, toasty character to the brew. And to elevate the richness, we've incorporated 1 lb. of Dark Belgian Candi Sugar, imparting a touch of caramelized sweetness that will leave you craving more.

To enhance the natural sweetness, we've included 2 lb. of Raw Honey, adding a luscious honeyed note that perfectly complements the chamomile. This combination of ingredients creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you yearning for another sip.

To balance the sweetness and add a touch of bitterness, we've carefully selected 2 oz. of Fuggle Hops. These hops provide a subtle earthy and floral character, harmonizing with the chamomile and creating a well-rounded flavor profile.

And finally, the pièce de résistance, 2.5 oz. of Chamomile Flower. These delicate flowers infuse the brew with their gentle essence, elevating the chamomile notes to new heights and ensuring that every sip is a blissful experience.

So, if you're ready to embark on a brewing journey like no other, our High Tea Herbal Ale beer kit is waiting for you. Unleash your inner brewmaster and indulge in the serenity of chamomile, the richness of honey, and the complexity of carefully selected malts. Elevate your beer-drinking experience and discover the true bounties of what a beer can be. Cheers to relaxation and enjoyment!

Sanitizer and Spray Bottle

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your High Tea Herbal Ale 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. 

Bottles

When your High Tea Herbal Ale 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.

Carboys   

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. 

Brew Pots

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 Cryo Bout It IPA 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.  

Siphons

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. 

Fermenters

The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.

Hoses

 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 High Tea Herbal Ale over a few feet of unsanitary hose. 

Funnels

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. 

Airlocks

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.   

Stoppers and Bungs 

Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria. 

 Carboy Brush

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. 

Capper

When you bottle your High Tea Herbal Ale, 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?

Many cryogenic applications make use of liquefied gases, such as liquid nitrogen and liquid helium, to reach the lowest attainable temperatures. Liquid nitrogen is the most widely available of these two elements, and can be purchased legally in many countries. Liquid helium is also frequently utilized.
