Bigger Henny Saison Beer Kit

Step right up, beer enthusiasts! Get ready to embark on a brewing adventure with our Bigger Henny Saison Beer Kit. This isn't just a beer kit, it's your ticket to creating a masterpiece that will tantalize your taste buds and impress your friends.

Your journey begins with 6 lbs. of Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract. This is the backbone of your brew, providing a light, crisp base that allows the other flavors to shine. Next, you'll add 2 lbs. of Light Malt Extract, enhancing the body of your beer and adding a touch of sweetness that balances the bitterness of the hops.

But we're just getting started. You'll also be adding 1 lb. of Light Candi Sugar. This Belgian specialty ingredient contributes to the beer's high alcohol content while also imparting a subtle, smooth sweetness.

Your beer's complexity is further deepened with 1 lb. of Pilsen Malt, 8 oz. of Carapils Malt, 4 oz. of Roasted Barley, and 4 oz. of Black Malt. These malts work together to create a rich, full-bodied beer with a beautiful amber color, a hint of toasty flavor, and a velvety mouthfeel.

Now, let's talk hops. Your kit includes 1 oz. of Kent Golding Hops and 1 oz. of Czech Saaz Hops. These hops are the spice of your beer, adding a gentle bitterness that balances the malt's sweetness and a floral, slightly spicy aroma that will make your kitchen smell like a professional brewery.

But what's a saison without a little something extra? That's where the 1 oz. of Ginger Root and 1 oz. of Bitter Orange Peel come in. These ingredients add a unique twist to your brew, infusing it with a zesty, citrusy flavor and a hint of warm, spicy ginger.

So, are you ready to create your own Bigger Henny Saison? With this kit, you're not just brewing beer, you're crafting an experience. So roll up your sleeves, pop open the kit, and let your brewing adventure begin!
