Martin's British Golden Ale Recipe Kit

Brewing beer at home is easy when the recipe is done for you. This British Golden Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's British Golden Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

British golden ale came out of the 1980s, when brewers wanted a paler, more refreshing cask beer to win drinkers back from lager. The result is a bright straw-colored ale, lighter in body than a bitter, with a clean malt base that lets the hops and yeast show through. It became a summer regular in British pubs and a common sight at cask festivals.

This version keeps the grain simple, pale malt with a little wheat for head retention, then leans on the hops for a dry finish with a faint citrus and earthy edge. It is an easy drinker at five percent.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes 2-Row Pale Malt in place of the recipe's 2-row American Pale Malt (Briess); Magnum in place of the recipe's Target Pellets. We stock dry yeast only, so LalBrew Verdant IPA (Hazy/English IPA) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's London Ale III (Wyeast Labs 1318).
