Description

  • Our Signature Series kits offer a selection of crazy, unique beers developed by MoreBeer! customers, associates, and homebrewing legends!
  • Lightly hopped with loads of honey to penetrate through the malty flavor profile
  • Includes 100% Cascade hops
  • Estimated ABV: 4.7%
  • Estimated IBUs: 13-17
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

We would not have put 3 lbs of honey with 4.5 lbs of malt extract in a pale ale, but Jim had no fear and did just that. The result - a really nice mix of malt and honey flavors. There is enough honey to make it through into the flavor. Just a little Cascade hops in the beginning and finish keep the flavor emphasis on the honey. He suggests WLP002 because it is less attenuative and leaves more malt behind.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.047-52
  • SRM (Color Range): 5-6
  • IBUs: 13-17
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 4.7%



 

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.

Have made several times. It's a great summer beer; especially when you add apricot puree.

Love this summer time brew
Great beer that is perfect for sipping during the hot summer months. The honey finish is different and noticable. People will love this beer, I promise. I made this twice now and I have enjoyed it both times. I can't say enough about the honey in this beer. Try and see what I am talking about.

Fantastic Recipe
This is the recipe that got me hooked into beer brewing. A friend invited me to help him brew, and I said that I would provided it would be a beer involving honey. I'm a beekeeper, so that's the reason for my interest. We substituted the honey that comes with the recipe with some from my own hives and the beer came out amazing. I've now bought a kit, and am brewing my own batch. Looking forward to tasting this in a few weeks.

Amazing!
I made it without any changes, just straight out of the box. Had my first just a few minutes ago and loved it. Placing a second order right now. Might try a little modification this time just to hone my skills, but definitely not needed.

My favorite beer so far!
I have made about 5 different beers, from More Beer, and this one is my favorite! It is an easy drinking, smooth ale. Not too hoppy, but there are floral scents on this brew, and a finish of honey. It is a very refreshing beer!

Good warm weather beer
This kit comes out great. I have brewed it twice now and both kegs have been a hit. Getting ready to brew it again on Saturday and looking forward to having it after a long hot summer day.

The best honey beer I have ever had!
The late honey addition, and lots of it leaves you with a crisp, awesome beer, with unmistakable honey flavors. People who like a flavorful beer will love it. It will convert people who are not regular beer drinkers, into whiny friends (and wives) that beg you to make it again. I brewed it for my own wedding and still people remember that more than our special day. Try it... it is fantastic.

Brew-Drink-Repeat
We brewed this during our Brew Years Eve party, decided after 1 week in the Primary we would rack on top of 2 lbs local pitted & stemmed cherries for 2 weeks, our Hunny Cherry Pale has been a hit, We will brew again w/o cherries in 2013!
