Makes 5 gallons of O.G. Orange Golden Ale
All-grain recipe designed for brewers with an all-grain system
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
Citrus-forward golden ale with sweet orange peel
Crisp, and the orange stays bright
This is a gentle, low bitterness beer, so where it finishes matters more than usual. US-05 lands dry and stays completely neutral, which lets the sweet orange peel come through as fresh fruit. Simple to run and hard to get wrong.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
Nothing but orange and Cascade
Flagship is about as close to invisible as a brewing yeast gets, which means the sweet orange peel and the Cascade are the entire flavor. It also finishes with a little more body than US-05, which suits a beer this gentle.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
Clean, and easy to keep happy
1056 stays clean across a wide temperature band, so an unheated room in most seasons will hold it. It finishes with a little more weight than US-05, which suits a golden ale carrying this little bitterness. It is a slow settler.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Clean and versatile
The Cascade gets louder
This strain brings hop flavor and aroma forward, which counts for a lot in a beer with this little bitterness. Ferment it warm for a drier, brighter finish, or cool to keep more body for the orange peel to sit on.
Ferment at 64-73°F
Attenuation 73-85%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and hop forward
Crisp and low ester
1007 throws very few esters, so the orange peel gets a clean canvas and the beer tastes crisp. It also matures quickly even when fermented cool, which shortens the wait. Powdery, so it takes longer to drop bright.
Ferment at 55-68°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low
Crisp, low ester, wide range

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your O.G. Orange Golden Ale follows a classic American ale brewing process:
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars with a light, dry mash profile for a clean golden ale character.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add Cascade hops for clean bittering and sweet orange peel for bright citrus aroma and flavor.
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated for a crisp, refreshing finish.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
This all-grain O.G. Orange Golden Ale delivers a bright, citrus-infused golden ale with clean malt character and a refreshing finish that makes it perfect for any occasion.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
