The Brown Ale is a classic dark ale with rich malt character and smooth drinkability. Caramel and chocolate malts provide roasted depth and gentle sweetness, while English Fuggle hops add mild bitterness and earthy balance.

The result is a well-rounded brown ale that highlights malt flavor without becoming heavy or overly bitter.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Brown Ale at home:

  • 6.25 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
  • Fuggle (Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Steeping Grains
  • Grain Steeping Bag
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Brown Ale follows a classic English ale brewing process:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops according to the recipe
  • Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

This simple process allows the malt character to shine while keeping the beer smooth and approachable.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of malt-forward beer styles
  • Homebrewers who enjoy classic English ales
  • Drinkers who prefer smooth beers with roasted malt flavor

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is a great choice for sharing an easy-drinking dark beer or keeping a dependable classic on hand.
