Fat Friar Amber Ale 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit

Fat Friar Amber Ale is a well-balanced amber ale that sits comfortably between light and dark beers. A blend of light and dark malts creates toasty, slightly caramelized malt flavor with a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Willamette and Fuggle hops add gentle earthy and floral notes, providing refreshment without overpowering the malt backbone. The result is an approachable amber ale designed for balance and easy drinking.

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

• 6.25 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
• Willamette (Bittering) Hop Packet
• Fuggle (Aroma) 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 Fat Friar Amber Ale follows a classic American amber 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 approachable process emphasizes malt balance while keeping hop bitterness smooth and restrained.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

• Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
• Fans of balanced, malt-forward amber ales
• Homebrewers who enjoy classic, easy-drinking styles
• Drinkers who prefer smooth beers that aren’t too light or too dark

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is great for sharing, aging a few bottles, or keeping a reliable crowd-pleaser on hand.
