You're gliding down the slopes, the wind rushing through your hair, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the legendary Abominable Snowman emerges from the woods. Panic sets in as you find yourself being chased down the hill, desperately trying to outrun this mythical creature. But amidst the chaos, one thought keeps you going: the Ski Chaser Strong Ale waiting for you at the bottom.

To achieve this exceptional taste, we've carefully selected the finest ingredients for you. The Ski Chaser Strong Ale beer kit includes 7 lbs. of Amber Dry Malt Extract, which forms the backbone of this brew, providing a rich and robust base. We've also added 1 lb. of Maltodextrin, enhancing the body and mouthfeel, giving it that velvety smoothness you crave.
But we didn't stop there. We've included 1 lb. of 2-Row Brewer's Malt, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile. To further enhance the maltiness, we've added 1 lb. of Caramel 80L Malt, infusing a touch of sweetness and a beautiful amber hue. And let's not forget the 8 oz. of Aromatic Munich Malt, which adds a subtle toasty character that perfectly complements the other ingredients.
To balance out the maltiness, we've carefully selected hops that bring just the right amount of bitterness and aroma. The Ski Chaser Strong Ale beer kit includes 1 oz. of Northern Brewer Hops, known for their earthy and woody notes, adding a delightful complexity to the brew. And to round it all off, we've included 2 oz. of Fuggle Hops, renowned for their floral and spicy characteristics, providing a gentle hop presence that doesn't overpower the malt flavors.
So why wait? Don't let the Abominable Snowman catch up to you without having a Ski Chaser Strong Ale in hand. Brew up a batch today and experience the magic of this winter warmer. Remember, this could happen to you.

SanitizerGood sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Ski Chaser Strong 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.
BottlesWhen your Ski Chaser Strong 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.
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 PotsThe 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 Ski Chaser Strong 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.
SiphonsAuto-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.
HosesMany 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 Ski Chaser Strong Ale over a few feet of unsanitary hose.
FunnelsPouring 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.
AirlocksIt 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.
CapperWhen you bottle your Ski Chaser Strong 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.
