American Lite Ale - Extract Beer Brewing Kit (5 Gallons)

Please select from the following option(s) to see pricing and availability.
Options: 
Description
(Makes 5 gallons) A lite beer similiar to the major American brands. Not much flavor, not much bitterness, not much of anything to tell you the truth. However, sometimes that is exactly what we are looking for. A good beer for general mass-consumption. Uses dry rice extract as part of the base.
 
This kit does not contain any grain, only Liquid Malt Extract and Dried Rice extract. No grain bag is needed.
 
  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.035
  • SRM (Color Range): 4-6
  • IBUs: 6-10
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 3.6%

 

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.

Pretty good for keeping the lite beer folks happy
This beer is surprisingly good if you are trying to clone something like Mich Ultra or Bud Light. It has very little flavor, virtually no hop profile, and has a slight sweetness to it. If that is what you are looking for, then it is worth a try.

Easy-to-Brew
This would be a great first kit for a new brewer. It's easy to brew, tastes like beer, and is very cheap for an extract kit. But don't expect this lite ALE to turn out just like a major American brand lite LAGER. It's darn near as close as you can get though.

American Lite Ale
This is by far the worst kit Ive ever made. Taste like bitter boiled grain.

First brew - Outstanding!
My very very first homebrew, and I couldn't be happier. This is a nice, smooth, light ale that everyone loved. Not a lot of flavor, but just enough to make it comparable to a commercial light beer. My wife, who doesn't care for beer, absolutely loved this one. Wyeast 1056, fermented for two weeks, then sat in the corny keg for two more. Will definitely brew this a few more times for the masses.

Nice light kit
This is a great beginner kit. Simple ingredients, recipe and taste. A definite starting beer for the non home brew fan! Cheers!!
