AMERICAN AMBER Brewers Best Beer. I really like this beer. I never made it but had it. Does anyone know the ingredients for it. The kit is cheep. I just wanted to see if I can buy the ingredients in a mass quanity for less price. Thanks for the help.

I have made the kit myself and I have the original ingredients list at home. I can post it for you later this evening if you can wait that long.

Salute!

Awsome thanks. Do you think it would be cheeper if I get mass quanities of this? I can get this kit for $30. Ita a good deal for a good beer. What

I think the only difficult item to purchase in bulk would be the LME. If you have a LHBS like my local shop, you can purchase 1/2 gallon jugs of LME but I can't really speak for what is available regularly.

Most of the other ingredients can be purchased in bulk at lower costs.

Salute!

I made a video of me making the Brewer's Best American Amber. Check it out when you get a chance.

I like to do half-batches. This is a great tasting beer.
