Band of Brewthers All-Grain Kit

Band of Brewthers — Cream Ale

ABV: 5.0%   |   IBU: 11.5   |   Color: ≈ 4 SRM (pale gold)

Smooth. Crisp. Dangerously drinkable. Band of Brewthers is a classic American Cream Ale brewed with a clean 2-row base, a touch of flaked corn for a light, refreshing body, and a whisper of Honey Malt for subtle sweetness. Liberty hops keep the bitterness low and approachable. This is the beer that rallies the troops — whether you're a first-time brewer or a seasoned veteran, this one's for everyone at the table.

What’s in the Box

Grain Bill

• Premium 2-Row — the clean malt foundation
• Flaked Corn — the light, crisp, classic cream-ale character
• American Honey Malt — a subtle rounded sweetness

Hops

Liberty hops, added at 60 and 15 minutes — restrained, noble-style bitterness that stays out of the way of the malt.

Yeast

SafAle US-05 (American Ale, dry)

Tasting Notes

Bright straw-gold, soft corn-sweet aroma, a light crisp body, and a clean finish built for a second glass.

Good For

Group brew days, first-timers, and anyone who wants an easy-drinking beer that doesn’t ask much of the palate.

Every Kit Includes

• A pre-milled, vacuum-sealed grain bill — no scale, no mill required
• Hops pre-weighed and bagged by addition, so you add what the recipe calls for, when it calls for it
• A reliable dry yeast strain — no starter, no smack pack, no temperature-sensitive liquid yeast
• Any specialty ingredients, such as lactose, lemon peel, whirlfloc, or yeast nutrient, pre-measured and bagged
• A full recipe instruction card with mash schedule, boil time, and water volumes
• Bottle caps, sized for your full batch — not something you have to source yourself
• Priming sugar, pre-measured for bottling day — ready to go when your beer is

A Premium Kit Without the Premium Price

A lot of the big-name kit sellers stop at grain, hops, and instructions — yeast, priming sugar, bottle caps, and even grain bags get sold as separate add-ons. MoreBeer, for example, states outright that its recipe kits “DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar.” Add those items up at most retailers and you're looking at another $10–$15 on top of the kit price before you can actually finish a batch.

Every Kettle & Keg kit already includes the dry yeast, the bottle caps, and the priming sugar. What you see is what it costs to go from box to bottle — no surprise add-ons at checkout.
