WW American Pale Ale 10/12.5 Litre Kit

American Pale Ale Complete Kit.

A flavourful American Pale Ale. Our APA has an amber appearance with a prominent bitterness. Due to ale and crystal malts used, it has a steady malt flavour with a touch of bready and toasty notes. The kit includes an 800g can of American Pale Ale, 750g bag of Dry Malt extract and an 11g pack of Fermentis US-05 ale yeast. Ferment at 18-28ºC / 64-77ºF (ideally near the middle of this range) Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.011 (2.80°P), resulting in 4.5% alcohol by volume, 30 Bitterness Units and 6.5 SRM/13 EBC colour. 

To elevate the fresh hop aroma of this style, we recommend the brewer make a hop tea of 1-2 oz. (28-56 grams) of any aroma hops in a French coffee press. Add approx. 900ml of boiled water, cooled to 80°C, to the hops. Stir and then steep for 30 minutes. Plunge the solids and add the green, filtered hop tea to the mix of ingredients in your fermenter (before adding the yeast).
