Malt-forward American pale ale
Features Columbus and Ahtanum hops
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 balanced, malt-driven pale ale that highlights classic American craft brewing. Light toffee and caramel malt flavors form the foundation, creating a smooth, medium-bodied beer with depth and drinkability.
Columbus and Ahtanum hops provide restrained bitterness and subtle citrus and herbal notes, keeping the hop profile supportive rather than dominant. The result is a classic pale ale with structure, balance, and approachability.
What’s Included in the Recipe Kit
This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Stone Pale Ale at home:
6.25 lb Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
Columbus (Bittering) Hop Packet
Ahtanum (Flavoring) Hop Packet
Ahtanum (Flameout) 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.
How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your Stone Pale Ale focuses on building malt depth while maintaining balanced hop character:
Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops
Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until clean and stable
Condition: Allow the beer to finish fermenting and settle
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
This process highlights malt richness while keeping hop bitterness smooth and controlled.
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.
Drinkers who prefer balanced beers with subtle hop bitterness
Because it emphasizes malt character over aggressive hopping, this kit is a great choice for brewers looking to produce a smooth, approachable pale ale with classic roots.
