Wetpak American Pale
Product Description
The Wetpak American Pale Ale is an American style ale that features the rich, amber colour and strong, citrusy hop characteristics that are signature to these types of beers.
Wetpak Kits are formulated as extract brewing kits. They require a little more effort but the end result is definitely worth it. To make a Wetpak beer you will require:
- Access to a stove or hot plate (one of those little butane gas powered camp stoves will work well).
- A pot or saucepan that is large enough to hold 6 litres of liquid.
- A spoon for stirring.
- A sieve, colandar lined with butter muslin or a coffee plunger.
- 1 hour of your time to monitor your brew while it simmers on the stove.
The American Pale Ale kit comes with:
- 3kg of malt extract with the bittering hops already added.
- a foil bag containing finishing hops.
- a bag of finishing grain.
- Instructions (To view the detailed instructions that come with the kit, click "HERE".)
- A sachet of Fermentis' Safale S-04 yeast so brew this one between 12°C to 25°C (optimal range is 15°C to 20°C).
*** Note: Upon opening the can, you may see what looks like candied sugar or a green crust. Don't panic, it's just the fresh hops within the can that have come to the surface of the malt. They're supposed to be there! ***
*** Makes 20 Litres ***

BEST I EVER MADE
Posted by DTM on 19th Jan 2019
This was brew number 50 for me, majority purchased from Country Brewer, Kingswood or Prospect. The beer was sampled by 3 mates who did not believe it was home brew. This is now on my top shelf list and will feature many times in the future as I head to brew number 100

Absolute cracker!

My first attempt at a Wetpak and my best brew by far. Comparable to many commercial APA's. Will definitely brew again!

Great drop and easy to make

Picked this up at Daylesford on Mark's recommendation. Brewed as per instructions - my first "wetpack". Came out great and will definitely do another one when it's run out! I liked the grain and hop additions, which allow you to experiment a bit so will do so next time.

One of the best

Great beer. One of my all-time favourites -- add a bit of Saaz hops (15g) and it gets even better. Along with the English Best Bitter, you won't find a better home-brew and the result is up there with the best of the boutique brews anywhere. Highly recommended.

good ale
Posted by troy on 7th Aug 2013
try putting galaxy hops after adding water just before the yeast. i put 20g in a coffee mug and add boiling water let it sit for 10mins then add to the brew. stir it around then add yeast.
very nice.

very good ale as is, and a great base for further flavour experimenting. This is now one of my staple packs.
