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:
The American Pale Ale kit comes with:
*** 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 ***

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

My favourie of the wetpak range, goes close to matching any craft beer pale ale.

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.

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.

bought @ Maitland country brewer after a try. used some extra amarillo hops for the last part of the boil, a fan favourite and now my mainstay Ale!

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.

Fantastic beer for those who love this style of beer. Ferment at the correct temperature and you will be rewarded (as always).
