Your Label Peelers Fresh Cream Ale – Extract Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf: your extract and specialty grains are packed fresh, your ingredients are measured to order, and you never pay for flashy packaging. It’s all about giving you the freshest ingredients so you can brew your best beer.
The Fresh Cream Ale Beer Kit – Extract invites you to create a smooth, refreshing ale that glides across your palate with a light body, gentle malt sweetness, and a hint of hop brightness. This kit lets you explore the simple joy of brewing with high-quality ingredients that deliver a crisp, easy-drinking experience.
You’ll start with 6 lbs of Light Dry Malt Extract, forming a clean, malty base; 1.5 lbs of Flaked Corn lends a touch of soft sweetness that lightens the body; 0.5 lb of Honey Malt adds depth and warmth, rounding out the flavor beautifully. For hops, Saaz provides balance and finesse: you’ll add 1 oz at 60 minutes for gentle bitterness, then 1 oz at 15 minutes to layer in that delicate floral aroma. Finally, American Ale Yeast ensures a clean fermentation, allowing the crisp, golden character of your Cream Ale to shine.
This kit is perfect if you appreciate balance and subtlety in your beer; it rewards your care with a brew that’s both satisfying and endlessly drinkable.
