Woody Mountain Wheat - 2-Gallon Beer Making Ingredient kit

Woody Mountain Wheat — 2 Gallon Kit

Woody Mountain sits in the Coconino National Forest west of Flagstaff, named for the dense, continuous Ponderosa pine forest that has always defined this stretch of high country. At the summit stands a fire lookout tower built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps — young men sent into the forests during the Depression to build things that would last. The tower still stands and still serves its purpose, watching over the same forest it was built to protect nearly ninety years ago.

There’s something appealing about work that endures.

American Wheat is a distinctly American take on wheat beer — same light, refreshing character as its German cousins but hopped more assertively and fermented with a clean yeast that lets the hops do the talking. No banana, no clove — just a bright, easy drinking wheat beer with pleasant Cascade hop flavor and aroma. No specialty grains needed in this kit, which makes it one of the most straightforward brews in our lineup.

A great warm weather beer. A great first brew.

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.
