This is the easy way to brew beer at home. This Blonde Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Centennial Blonde, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Centennial Blonde is one of the most-brewed homebrew recipes going, a light blonde ale that leans harder on hops than most of its kind. The base is pale and easy, but Centennial and Cascade push it toward citrus and light floral notes, giving a sessionable beer more aroma than its color implies.

At 4.5% it stays crisp and low in body, the sort of thing that disappears fast on a warm day. It is a common first all-grain recipe for good reason: forgiving to brew, quick to drink, and a clean way to feature American hops without much malt in the way.

A Note On Substitutions

  • 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 Blonde 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
