Brewed in the old school style of a pale ale, Weekend Beach Tan Pale Ale is a light-bodied beer that doesn't compromise on taste. It's like a gentle breeze on a hot summer day, refreshing and invigorating. As you take your first sip, you'll be greeted by a delightful hint of flaked maize, adding a subtle sweetness to the brew.

But the magic doesn't stop there. The aroma of citrus, pine, and floral notes from the carefully selected hops will transport you to a tropical paradise. Imagine yourself lounging under a palm tree, with the scent of fresh fruits and flowers filling the air. That's the experience this beer delivers.

Let's dive into the ingredients that make this beer so special. We start with 2 lbs. of Golden Light Dry Malt Extract, providing a solid foundation for the brew. To enhance the flavor profile, we add 3 lbs. of Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract, ensuring a crisp and clean taste that will leave you craving more.

To add a touch of complexity, we incorporate 1 lb. of Flaked Maize, which contributes to the beer's lightness and subtle sweetness. We also include 1 lb. of 2-Row Brewer's Malt, adding depth and character to the brew. And let's not forget the 8 oz. of Victory Malt, which imparts a warm, toasty flavor that will make you feel like you're sitting around a bonfire on the beach.

To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, we carefully selected the hops. 2 oz. of Cascade Hops bring a burst of citrusy goodness, while 1 oz. of Centennial Hops adds a touch of piney freshness. And to round it all off, 1 oz. of Saaz Hops brings a subtle floral note that will transport you to a field of blooming flowers.

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 yourWeekend Beach Tan Pale 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 yourWeekend Beach Tan Pale 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 Weekend Beach Tan Pale Ale 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 Weekend Beach Tan Pale 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 Weekend Beach Tan Pale 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?

The principal flavonoid found in hops is xanthohumol, and the other prenylflavonoids which have been studied in-depth are 8-prenylnaringenin and isoxanthohumol. Xanthohumol is being studied for its potential properties, whereas 8-prenylnaringenin has been identified as a potent phytoestrogen.
