Powell's Pale Ale 2-Gallon Beer Making Ingredient kit

Powell’s Pale Ale — 2 Gallon Kit

In May of 1869, one-armed Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell set out from Green River Station, Wyoming with ten men and four wooden boats to navigate the unmapped Colorado River through the Grand Canyon — something no one had done before. On August 28, exhausted and fearful of the rapids ahead, three crew members climbed out of the canyon to hike overland to safety. They were killed shortly after. Who was responsible remains disputed — accounts differ between the Shivwits people and Mormon settlers. The six men who stayed with Powell floated out of the Grand Canyon two days later, completing the first recorded passage through one of the most forbidding landscapes on earth. It seemed like the right name for a beer worth finishing.

Powell’s Pale Ale is a classic American Pale Ale — crisp, clean and built around strong Cascade hop flavor and aroma with just a touch of caramel malt underneath. Medium bodied, honestly bitter, bright and refreshing. Just writing this description makes me want to drink one right now.

No Temperature Control Required 

Our kits use a specially selected ale yeast that ferments cleanly across a remarkably wide temperature range — all the way up to 94°F — with no special equipment or monitoring required. Pitch the whole packet and let it work. Brew in July or January and it performs the same way.

The Dry Malt Difference
Our kits are made exclusively with dry malt extract. It’s more expensive than liquid malt extract but it doesn’t darken or pick up off flavors with age and temperature the way liquid extract does. Fresher ingredients, truer flavors — that’s why we’ve always used it and always will.
