BEST BEER I'VE EVER MADE!

This has got to be my most flavorful and smooth-drinking beer I have ever made. BTW: I used Safale04 for the yeast. Ordering more kits today!

Smooth easy drinking

Great everyday beer. Much more flavor than a light lager commercial beer. Easy to make, may try with ale yeast. Did 2 batches , all mash and partial , both lager, yum.

Excellent Lager!

This was my first attempt at a lager. I can say that it was worth the work and the wait. I'm getting rave reviews from my friends about this beer. Will be brewing this one again...and again...and again. Thanks AIH!

Brings a tear to my eye

I grew up in the Northeast and figured Yuengling was as available as Bud light around the world. How wrong I was... I moved to Kansas City to discover that Yuengling is an East Coast regional brew. The moment I started bottling my first batch and smelled that sweet aroma, I was flooded with memories of good times spent with the guys. The first bottle I popped open was... meh. Give it at least three weeks in the bottle to quell that green bite and share it with a friend. You wont' be able to tell it was a clone. This will be one of my homebrew staples from now on being that its a great price and the mellow flavor and relatively low alcohol makes this a great "every day" beer.

Perfect Beer

Perfect beer for chilling after work on a cold winters night. Much better than the mass produced bottle.

Yuengling Ale

Cracked my first bottle of this batch and it is great. Flavor is so good. I had to do this as an ale but was not disappointed. Will order this again. Thanks AIH!

A really good recipe

First off, allow to me to state that I did not ferment this kit as a lager -- I used Wyeast 1056 and fermented at ale temperature. (I am relatively new to brewing and do not have the necessary setup to tackle lagering just yet.) But I am happy to report that this kit still produced an absolutely outstanding beer. The taste was extremely reminiscent of Yuengling, but it had a somewhat fuller, more robust mouthfeel. Also, there was a bit more of a pronounced hop finish to the aftertaste which I really enjoyed. And the aroma was fantastic. I already have plans to brew another batch.

Yuengling rules

This beer kit has made me sure of two things; Lagering is worth the time, trouble, and expense and five gallons is definitely not a big enough batch of beer! I made this Thanksgiving week following the instructions closely and using White Labs 830 lager yeast. I made a 1 liter starter 48 hours before brewing. I had just purchased a “scratch-and-dent” freezer at Home Depot and a thermostat control for it locally. This was my first lager attempt and I took the time and effort to do it right, closely following the lagering instructions here on the AIH site. It’s now March and I’ve just tapped it. OMG it’s awesome! I’ve since graduated to all-grain brewing and really enjoy my ale’s, but nothing compares to the smooth, clean taste of this Yuengling kit. It’s not exact, but I love it as much if not more than the original and I will surely be making this one again. If you’ve been waiting to get into lagering, just do it. You won’t be sorry. Happy brewing!

Q: How close is the flavor brewing this as an ale, and does it come with instructions?

Asked by: Scott - 1/25/2019

A: the ale strains used will keep the yeast profile clean and neutral and is a good option if the brewer doesn't have the ability to make a true lager. A full set of instructions and ingredient list do ship with the order when it heads out

Q: I recently ordered a Yuengling extract kit and a Octoberfest extract kit. I unpacked the kits and have all of my hops for the Octoberfest but I have an extra 4 HBU and do not have the cluster hops needed for the Yuengling. Am I supposed to use the 4 HBU hops in place of the cluster hops?

Asked by: Bruce Tappe - 1/22/2019

A: The $HBU pack is now being used in place of the Cluster hops so this can be used as a direct sub in that recipe

Q: If using Saflager S-23 dry Yeast, is 1 pack enough or do I need to make a starter?

Asked by: Scott Garland - 1/16/2018

A: a starter is always reccomended and would be a great idea for this batch. The S-23 along would work well but the starter limits risk of sluggish and stalled fermenter

Q: When I made this it came out very dark. If I steep the grains for less time (20mins)would that lighten the color? Would that affect the final out come taste wise.

Asked by: Ben - 6/8/2016

A: Hi there, I wouldn't recommend steeping the grains for less time then it states in the instructions. It will make your brew lighter in color but will also affect the flavor negatively. Thanks
