Orchard Pale Ale Beer Kit - All Grain

Your Label Peelers Orchard Pale Ale All Grain Beer Kit never sits on a shelf; your grains are freshly crushed to order, your hops and yeast are packed with care, and you don’t pay for a flashy box. It’s all about giving you the freshest ingredients so you can craft your best beer.

The Orchard Pale Ale All Grain Kit brings you a beer that bridges the crisp brightness of a classic pale ale with the gentle fruit essence of a sunlit orchard. As you step into this brewing experience, you’ll notice how every ingredient plays its part: the 8 lbs of Pale Malt (2-Row) form a clean, sturdy base; the 1 lb of Munich Malt adds warm depth and a soft bready richness; the 0.5 lb of Caramel/Crystal Malt – 20L lends a hint of honeyed sweetness and a light amber hue.

Your hop schedule unfolds like a story: 1 oz of Magnum at 60 minutes introduces a balanced bitterness that clears the way for the layers of aroma to follow; 1 oz of Cascade at 15 minutes adds a bright floral sparkle; and 1 oz of Citra at 5 minutes completes the picture with citrusy notes that lift and refresh.

Fermented with Safale US-05 Ale Yeast, known for its clean, crisp profile, your Orchard Pale Ale will finish bright and balanced, letting the malt and hops express themselves in harmony. The result is a pale ale that feels both classic and alive with subtle fruit character—refreshing, fragrant, and rewarding from first sip to last.
