Description
Craft Series American Pale Ale – extract kit from Mangrove Jack's
An American Pale Ale with good malt character and balanced bitterness. The beer is dry-hopped with Simcoe and Chinook, giving a punchy aroma of tropical fruit, grapefruit and earthy notes. The kit makes approx. 23 litres of beer.
The extract kits in Mangrove Jack's Craft Series contain liquid malt extract, dry yeast and, where applicable, dry hops. Priming sugar for carbonation is not included.
What else you need
To brew the American Pale Ale you also need 700 g of liquid malt extract, also called Pure Malt Enhancer, to reach the intended alcohol content. It is available as Mangrove Jack's liquid malt extract light 1.2 kg. Malt extract gives the beer better flavour, body and mouthfeel than sugar or dextrose.

Frequently asked questions about the Craft Series American Pale Ale extract kit
What else do I need to brew the American Pale Ale?
You need 700 g of liquid malt extract in addition to the kit. Mangrove Jack's lists 600 g of dextrose or Brew Enhancer as an alternative, but malt extract gives better flavour and body. Priming sugar is not included either.
At what temperature should the beer ferment?
Mangrove Jack's recommends 18–22 °C with the included M15 Empire Ale yeast.
When do I add the dry hops?
Follow the instructions that come with the kit. The instructions (in Norwegian) can also be downloaded from this page.
Is there a simpler option with a better result?
Yes. A Fresh Wort Kit contains 20 litres of fully brewed wort from a professional brewery, and you simply pitch the yeast. It is easier and faster, and the beer turns out much better. If you are considering an extract kit, try a Fresh Wort Kit instead.
