Makes 5 gallons of Stone Pale Ale
All-grain recipe designed for brewers with an all-grain system
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
American pale ale style with bold malt character and citrus hop aroma
Fast, and drinkable soonest
S-04 ferments quickly and drops out quickly, so this pale ale is ready before the other three. It finishes dry enough to keep the caramel body clean under a big Columbus and Ahtanum charge. The pick when you want beer in the glass rather than beer in the fermenter.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 74-82%
Flocculation High
Fast, fruity, clears well
All flameout, no interference
The big Ahtanum charge at flameout is what this beer is about, and Flagship leaves it entirely alone. It finishes with a bit more weight than S-04, which sits comfortably under the caramel malt. It takes its time going bright.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
Fullest, with a nutty edge
Nothing here finishes with more malt in the glass, and 1272 adds a soft nuttiness and a faintly tart edge that give the beer character of its own rather than a blank canvas. Reliable flocculation means it drops bright on its own.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 72-76%
Flocculation Medium-High
Soft, nutty, clears clean
Everything the flameout gave you
With this much Ahtanum going in at flameout, a strain that amplifies hop flavor and aroma pays for itself. Where it lands is your call: warm for a drier, sharper beer, cool for more of the caramel malt in the finish.
Ferment at 64-73°F
Attenuation 73-85%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and hop forward

Flavor Profile & Beer Style
Stone Pale Ale is a malt-forward American pale ale with rich caramel and toffee notes from a blend of Munich and crystal malts. The malt backbone is balanced by firm bitterness from Columbus hops, while Ahtanum hops add bright citrus and floral aromatics. The finish is clean and assertive with a deep amber color and moderate to high bitterness. This is a bold, characterful pale ale with real depth and drinkability.

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your Stone Pale Ale focuses on building malt depth while maintaining balanced hop character:
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars with a balanced mash profile for a medium body with rich malt character.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add Columbus hops for firm bittering, then Ahtanum hops for citrus flavor and floral aroma.
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
This all-grain Stone Pale Ale delivers bold malt depth, firm bitterness, and bright citrus hop character in a well-balanced, assertive pale ale."
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.
