About the Recipe
Ryan Barto, a former MoreBeer! employee and homebrewing legend, developed this recipe kit based on his passion for German ales. The result is a malt-forward beer with a sturdy bitterness, perfect for those who love a good alt bier. The kit includes Magnum, Saaz, and Mt. Hood hops, ensuring a complex and balanced flavor.
Brewing Notes
To get the best results from this recipe kit, we recommend a 90-minute boil, with the hops added 30 minutes into the boil. You may need to start with more water than usual to compensate for the additional boil-off. Ferment the beer at 62-64°F for 2 weeks in primary, and then lager or cold condition for 4-8 weeks at 40°F.
What's Included
Our recipe kit includes all the ingredients you need to make 5 gallons of beer, except for grain bags, yeast, and priming sugar. You can find our yeast recommendations in the 'You Might Also Need' section below. All steeping grains come milled, and you can choose between Liquid Malt Extract (LME) or Dry Malt Extract (DME) depending on your brewing style.
Choose Your Extract
We offer our recipe kits in both LME and DME formats, so you can choose the one that suits your needs best. LME is a more affordable option and easier to handle, while DME is more condensed and stays fresher for longer. We recommend DME for brewing light-colored beers.
