Product Details

An easy beer recipe that delivers every single time. This Belgian Pale Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian Pale Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The Belgian Pale Ale is the everyday beer of the Antwerp region, an unshowy amber ale that Belgians drink the way others drink a lager. De Koninck is the classic example. It is malt-driven, with toasty and biscuit notes and a modest fruity spice from the yeast, and the hopping stays low so nothing overwhelms the balance. Less intense than a dubbel or a strong golden, it is built for a second and third glass.

Saaz and Styrian Goldings add a light, herbal bitterness that suits the toasty malt.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Crystal 20 in place of the recipe's Caravienne Malt; Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramunich® II; Great Chit in place of the recipe's Carapils®. 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 Pale 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
