Description

Uncle Sam wants YOU to brew this beer! Our American Ale kit produces a light colored, hoppy Pale Ale that puts the beloved Cascade hop on full display. With just a touch of Crystal malt, the hop character is really allowed to shine. Cascade hops are one of the classic American hop varieties, and we love them for their citrus, grapefruit character. You'll find that American Ale is light in color but not in flavor!

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.045-50
  • SRM (Color Range): 9
  • IBUs: 53-57
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 4.5%
     

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Quality brew
Good beer. I was skeptical about this one because it fermented so fast and vigorously. 3 days with Cali yeast. So fast that I began to wonder if it was really finished or did I let the yeast get too hot? My garage got up into the upper 70s. Came free with the premium kit with kegging equipment so I wasn't expecting much and was unsure how it would turn out. Brewed this on Memorial Day and very pleased with the results.
Good color. LME. Great taste. Solid

American Ale
Really like this beer. This is just a good beer. Not too hoppy at all. We've made it twice, and it's been 5% alcohol. It says it's supposed to be light in color, but both times its been more of a medium color. If you are not an IPA fan, this is a great choice.

Great starter kit - really good.
I made the LME American Ale kit and it turned out great. Fermented 5 days @ 68F, rested for a week, shot it with CO2 and enjoyed! So easy and so good.

The Kit came with the homebrew deluxe package I bought and was my first ever brew. Just popped the first bottle and it came out great. Everything was simple and easy to follow. This kit kickstarted my obsession into this hobby and I would recommend it for someone looking to brew an easy and tasty pale ale.

Great Extract Beer
This was included with my homebrew starter kit. The included instructions were easy to follow, and my brew day went smoothly. The only good place I had to ferment my beer was my basement, which is a bit cooler (~62F) than recommended, so it took about 10 days for fermentation to finish up. I left it on the trub for another 2 weeks before bottling with the included priming sugar.

The resulting beer is delicious and fruity and pours with a nice head. It is a little more bitter than I usually prefer, but that is probably just me. I found adding about a tablespoon of lemonade concentrate to the glass before pouring makes a decent faux-shandy.

I look forward to buying this one again and using it to experiment with different hop additions.

My favorite beer to make each week to experiment with adding different amount and types of hops.
