Description

Our Cali Mountain Pale Ale is inspired by one of the most iconic pale ales in the country: Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. This pale ale is a fairly simple recipe, consisting of ultralight malt extract, Crystal 60L, and four hop additions.  This being said, don't be fooled.  The flavors blend together perfectly, creating a complex yet easy to drink homebrew.  The bittering hop additions are Magnum and Perle which provide a clean bitterness that balances the sweetness from the Crystal 60L malt perfectly.  The aroma hop and dry hop additions are both Cascade, providing a citrus & floral aroma as fresh as the forests in California's mountains!

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.052-57
  • SRM (Color Range): 8
  • IBUs: 38
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 5.5%

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.

Clone?
A decent brew, but certainly not a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone. Different ingredients and completely different taste.

Cali on my mind
I jazz this recipe up with 1lb of caramel malt and secondary ferm with 2 oz of HBC 342 experimental hops. Oh S**t this is good. A little bit smoother across the tongue, a little sweet on the front, great citrus taste in the back and a wonderful aroma. It does not last and a hit at my American Legion meetings.

Great kit, can't beat the price.
This is a nice kit, and produced a clean, crisp and
drinkable ale... doesn't really taste like Sierra Nevada, but that's likely some issue on my end. It is still very enjoyable! A great brew kit, especially at this price.

Bests SNPA in side by side
I had a blind side by side with a few friends and they all chose this over the SN. 'Nuff said? This is my 5th time brewing it, I stick to the recipe and try to be spot on with my hop timings and then quickly cool it down to pitching temp. I do a dry hop of 3-4 days.
Stupidly Named Pale Ale (Cali Mountain?? Really, that's the best you got?)

Hoppy goodness
Clean. Hoppy without being too hoppy. The dry hopping works magic for the aroma. It smells amazing. My batch finished at 5.7%. Carbonation is spot on! This kit turned out a great pale ale. I WILL be brewing this again. If you like SNPA give this a shot, you won't be disappointed.
Strong headed. Tastes much better than it looks.

True to the Original
I started drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the 70s when it was bottled in 12oz Bud long necks. It is one of the few beers I will purchase to this day. The Cali Mountain really closes in on the flavor and aroma of the SNPA. All my friends really like it and it is super satisfying!
