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.

1ST BREW I DID BACK IN 2004
This was the first brew i did back in 2004 when i ordered my Bottling Kit Deluxe they called it back when i ordered it in Dec 2003.(my Christmas present for myself).

was a good brew, actually came out at 5.023% alc.

And i was looking at my original instructions from back then and match current one exactly as far as ingredients.

GREAT JOB MOREBEER STICKING TO SAME RECIPES OVER 18 YEARS NOW. THINK ILL GO BACK AND REDO WHAT WAS MY FIRST BEER, MAYBE ILL TRY IT IN ALL GRAIN AS WELL

A good beer to cook with!
So the big thing is that the color isn't right. It's more of an amber, which is a problem for a light ale. While I went the DME route and it's only 5lbs at that, it's darker than you'd expect. Just screams "homebrew". Really needs ultra-light DME, and carapils instead of caramel 15, hopping is spot-on BUT it's a bit heavy handed. Thankfully I used Omega tropical IPA yeast, which fermented this out real nice, otherwise it might be cloying. Haven't received any accolades or glowing response from friends and family. I've mostly been using it for cooking, beer brats and chicken brines. It's beer but I wouldn't brew it again. Kind of a bummer because I really wanted some new to put into rotation that was on the lighter side.

Darker and Sweeter than I Thought
To me a "light Ale" is Bud Light. But this is my first home brew. It is slightly lighter in color than 805. It also has a sweetness to it that is a little too sweet for me personally. It does taste good though and is considered "delicious" by those whom have tasted it. I know they aren't just saying it to be nice as they go for round 3 and 4. it certainly has a lot of flavor for a light beer.

Light Ale
I don't normally drink this type of beer but decided to make it for a party I was having with all of them being Bud Light drinkers. This beer went over very well with all of them. A nice light beer that is very easy to drink and actually has some flavor to it.
