Ginger Snap Amber Ale Beer Kit

Step right into the world of brewing with the Ginger Snap Amber Ale kit, your ticket to a flavor journey that's as exciting as it is delicious. This isn't just a beer kit, it's a flavor expedition, a chance to craft a brew that's uniquely yours.

Imagine this: a light brown amber ale that's as inviting as a warm hearth on a chilly evening. The 5 lbs. of Amber Dry Malt Extract lay the foundation, a sturdy base that's as reliable as it is flavorful.

Next, we introduce 1 lb. of Vienna Malt. This isn't just any malt, it's the secret ingredient that adds a touch of sophistication to your brew, a subtle nod to the old-world charm of traditional beer making.

But we're not stopping there. The 12 oz. of Caramel 80L Malt and 12 oz. of Victory Malt are the dynamic duo that infuse your brew with a caramel flavor that's as rich as a gold miner's dream. The 8 oz. of CaraBrown Malt? That's your secret weapon, the ace up your sleeve that adds a depth of flavor that's as deep as the ocean floor.

Now, let's talk about hops. The 1 oz. of East Kent Golding Hops and 1 oz. of Amarillo Hops are the spice of life in your brew. They add a symphony of spicy, floral, tropical, citrus, and thyme overtones that dance on your tongue like a ballet of flavor.

And the pièce de résistance? The .75 oz. of Ginger Root. This is where the 'snap' in Ginger Snap Amber Ale comes from. It's a subtle kick, a playful nudge that takes your brew from great to unforgettable.
