This all-grain recipe kit takes the guesswork out of brew day. This Belgian Blond Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian Blond Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The Belgian Blond Ale is a pale, softly sweet beer that many Belgian breweries make as an approachable entry into their range. It sits below the strong golden ale in intensity, with a smooth malt sweetness, light pepper and fruit from the yeast, and a gentle bitterness. The color runs gold to light amber and the body stays medium, while the strength holds moderate for the style at around seven percent, warming without turning heavy.

Styrian Goldings and Tettnang give a soft, earthy hop note that stays out of the yeast's way and lets the fermentation character lead.

A Note On Substitutions

We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle BE-256 (Belgian Abbey) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Belgian Ardennes (Wyeast Labs 3522).

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Belgian Blond Ale. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
