Our Golden Ale Mashing Kit is inspired by the strong Golden Ales of Belgium, and has a very clean and aromatic malt character and a blonde appearance. Think crisp pilsner malt flavors accented with spicy notes from the yeast and hops. Includes 12 pounds of Pilsner Malt, 2 pounds of beet sugar, two Hallertau hop additions, and priming sugar. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of 1.080. Needed yeast not included, order separately above.
Note: The malt for this kit is unmilled to preserve freshness. If you do not have a grain mill, please pick a milling option. Fine milling is best for brew in bag and traditionial three tier mashing systems, while we recommend coarse milling if you have an electric system like a Mash & Boil, Brewzilla, Grainfather, or Anvil Foundry.

Q: AG Golden Ale kit: "Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of 1.080". So after overnight mash and batch spargng, I ended up with 4.5 gallons and a starting gravity of 1.076. Should I try to correct anything now or just proceed apace?
A: Just proceed, mashing yields vary depending on temperature and other factors. It sounds like it will be a good beer.

Q: My Golden Ale Kit cam with 2 hop containers. KCH150 at 60 minutes. the other KCH050 is not mentioned. Do I use it? Thanx Mike
A: Only 1 KCH150 (1.5 oz Hallertau) hop pack should of been included. We did not intend to have an aromatic hop in this recipe, as the aroma comes from the malt and the yeast. Sorry about this!

Q: What type of dry yeast do you recommend (I live in Fla)? Also, what do you recommend for mash temp( didn't notice it in instructions).
A: Our item Z70 Mangrove Jack Belgian Abbey would be a good choice. Mash at 152- 155 degrees F for one hour.
