APRICOT ALE Description
|
|
Apricot Ale has a light malt flavor accented with English hops and the unique fruity flavor of apricot. Not as cloyingly sweet as some fruit beers, because apricot flavor has a bit more definition than say blackberry, which gives this beer a greater depth of flavor than most fruit beers. A great beer for Summer brewing and drinking. Alcohol: 3.8%, IBUs 28.
Includes 6 lbs. of our blended malt extract, English Golding hops, natural apricot flavor, 125 ml of liquid ale yeast, and corn sugar for carbonation. Makes 5 gallons of ale with a starting gravity of at least 1.040. Ease of Brewing: Beginner

Pros:
|
This is the first beer I ever brewed and man, it made me look like a star right from jump. And, because it has become my mother-in-law's favorite beer, my growing investment in brew equipment has never been questioned!
|
|
Cons:
|
I don't care for the plastic pouches that hold the malt syrup. I find them messy to use and difficult to get the malt our of...even after "priming" the not-yet-empty pouch with warm wort so as to get every drop. That has been my one hesitation with buying addition Williams' kits. Having said that, I have always found the quality to be top-notch. The Red Ale is another winner!
