Ski Chaser Strong Ale Beer Kit

Description

Your Ski Chaser Strong Ale gives you a balanced winter warmer built on amber dry malt extract and dark candi syrup for rich malt depth, with maltodextrin adding body and a creamy texture. Specialty grains including 2-Row, Caramel 80L and Aromatic Munich contribute toasty and sweet malt notes, while Northern Brewer and Fuggle hops supply earthy, woody, floral and spicy character. The SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly so the malt and hop profile remains forward.

Your Label Peelers Ski Chaser Strong Ale 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.
