Q: Is there an all grain version? If not, what about an ingredients listing?
A: We do not have an all grain version. For an all grain recipe very similar use, 12 lbs. of Belgian Pilsner Malt, 1 lb. of white wheat malt, 1 pound beet sugar, 1.75 oz. Saaz at the start of the boil, 1 oz. East Kent Golding in the last 15 minutes, and .75 oz. Hallertau Mittelfrauh at flameout. Ferment with Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale.

Q: Does the liquid yeast hold up with shipping?
A: This time of year it is fine, in the Summer we recommend ordering a Yeast Warranty box also with purchase.

Q: Are the bittering hops in the malt? Can you add additional bittering hops?
A: No, the malt is unhopped and the bittering hops are in separate packs. You can add additional bittering hops, although this will change the flavor balance.
Good ale
This father's day ale is one I wished williams made year round. It starts out a little sweet but blends over time. The flavors of this beer is very complex. I have really enjoyed this beer. This is one of my favorites.
Father day ale
Kit was great easy instructions beer came out great
Sweet Brew!
On day 17 of fermentation, the gravity was at 1.032, slightly below the 1.035 target, but the wort is still quite sweet, though the flavor is good. I plan to contact Williams to see if I should continue the ferment for a few more days, or if the sweetness will reduce after kegging. Wiliam's Responds: We were contacted and advised him to put the beer in a secondary for an additional 7 days. Also, sweetness is greatly reduced once a beer is carbonated.
An annual tradition
I'm primarily an all grain brewer that does extract batches every so often to keep the taps flowing. I stumbled upon this recipe kit years ago and have continued to make it year after year. Very nice malty beer that's always a crowd pleaser.
Great English Ale
Satisfying ale in the English style. Malty and flavorful.
