The Hoppy Friar American Altbier

An American twist on an old German ale, we put the spicy and piney hops to this Altbier to create a one-of-a-kind brew. Around the office, we like to call this one "The Brother Don." No substitutions, no cell phones. Color: 15 SRM (Darkish Amber). IBU: 60. ABV: 5.5%. Extract kits include liquid and/or dry malt extract, plus crushed specialty grains with a grain sock to steep. Partial mash kits include malt extract, plus a larger amount of crushed base malt and specialty grains with a grain sock, and require extra steeping time. All-grain kits include crushed base malt and specialty grains, and require advanced technique and equipment. All kits also include: • Hops  • Bottle caps and priming sugar • Whirlfloc tablet or Irish moss • Spices and/or other additives (if applicable) • Yeast (you choose dry yeast, liquid yeast, or not yeast)
