American Pilsner
Style: American Megabrewery Pilsener
ABV: 4.4%
Color: Golden

Do you like beer from the big American breweries?

Pale color, light body, and little hop presence. We use a special combination of malt extracts - made from malted barley and rice.  This recipe doesn't have any nasty off-flavors, because we don't use cheap corn syrup or glucose!  The trick to this style is developing a recipe that is light in color and body, without heaviness of flavor or body while avoiding blandness.  This lager ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the special Tuborg family yeast strain. Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.

Color: Golden

Do you like Foster's™ Lager?

A brisk, refreshing lager. Golden color, with more flavor and body than the American-style pilsner beers. The malt extract we use is designed to give the beer a beautiful pale golden color, and hops from Australia and New Zealand give their characteristic flavor and aroma. This lager ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the special "Tuborg" family yeast strain. Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.

Bock - Traditional German Dark Bock

Style: German-style Traditional Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Brown

A strong, full-flavored lager beer. Bock beer has big malty taste, deep copper color, and medium-full body. The flavors of malt and caramel dominate the moderate amount of hops used. There is no hop aroma. With 9.5 pounds of malt extract, we don't skimp on ingredients for our bock kits! (There are a lot of weak bock kits on the market.) This lager ferments well at any steady temperature between 48-65 degrees, but thanks to the "Tuborg" yeast strain we use, you also get good results at room temperature. Bocks fermented at room temperature will benefit from some extra bottle aging time.  Bock, like other strong lagers, benefits from cold aging. You should store the bottles at room temperature for at least 2-3 weeks while carbonation develops, then move the bottles to a cool place or into a refrigerator if you have space.

Bock - German Helles Bock / Maibock

Style: German-style Maibock or Helles Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Deep Golden

This is the strongest light-colored German beer style. Intense gold color with very crisp and clean flavor. Maibock is less sweet and a bit lighter-bodied than the darker traditional bock beers. Maibock also has a bit more hops, but the dominant flavor is still that of malt. With more than 9 pounds of malt extract, we don't skimp on ingredients for our bock kits! (There are a lot of weak bock kits on the market.) This lager ferments well at any steady temperature between 48-65 degrees, but thanks to the "Tuborg" yeast strain we use, you also get good results at room temperature.

Bock - German Doppelbock

Style: German-style Doppelbock
ABV: 7.7%
Color: Copper Brown

This is a very strong, full-bodied lager beer. Doppelbock is the strongest of all German-style beers. Roasted malts contribute color to this beer, but the flavor is that of milder, sweeter malts. Alcohol content is quite high, and hop bitterness is just sufficient to prevent the malt sweetness from being cloying. However, hop bitterness is perceived as being low, while hop flavor and aroma are barely present.  With 11 pounds of malt extract, we don't skimp on ingredients for this one! (There are a lot of weak doppelbock kits on the market.) This is a very strong beer so the flavor will improve a lot with age, especially for the first 6 months. Store the bottles at room temperature for at least 2-3 weeks while carbonation develops, then move them to a cool location if you have one available.

Bock - Weizenbock

Style: German-style Weizenbock or Wheat Bock
ABV: 6.8%
Color: Amber

Weizenbock is another strong German beer.  But unlike the other bock styles, it's based on wheat malt and uses an ale-based Bavarian wheat beer yeast instead of a lager yeast. This is the powerhouse of all German wheat beers!  It's very full-bodied and rich compared to other wheat beers, and while the hop level is modest, it's definitely part of the flavor profile.

Do you like Anchor Steam™?

This is our recipe for the same beer style. We can't call it "steam beer" because Anchor Brewing Company™ has copyrighted the word, so the style is now called "California Common."  This is a special type of lager which is meant to be fermented at warmer temperatures. Although other lagers can be warm fermented, this one must be.  Temperatures between 65 and 72 degrees are ideal.  This beer has a brilliant amber color, medium-body, with nice full hop flavor and aroma throughout.

California Common - Ultimate Series

Color: Amber

Do you like Anchor Steam™?

This recipe is in the same style, except this ULTIMATE version is stronger. We can't call it "steam beer" because Anchor Brewing Company™ has copyrighted the word, so now the beer style is officially "California Common." This is a special type of lager which is meant to be fermented at warmer temperatures. Although other lagers can be warm fermented, this one must be.  Fermentation temperatures of 65 to 72 degrees are ideal.  This Ultimate version has more of everything - more malt extract for greater body & higher alcohol content, and more hops. The result is a remarkably balanced beer that's strong and hearty without going over the top.

Honey Brown

Style: Specialty Honey Lager / Brown Lager
ABV: 4.4%
Color: Light Brown

This recipe kit has become extremely popular since we introduced it in 2000. The color of our Honey Brown really is light brown - unlike some commercial versions. The body is moderately light with more than a touch of honey character. Rice syrup is added to the malt extract for crisp flavor, and to prevent the beer from becoming too heavy-bodied. Special brown roasted malt is used for color and toasted malt aroma. This allows us to avoid heavy caramel sweetness by lightening the load of crystal malt. The flavor and aroma of hops is quite modest.

Kolsch

Style: Kolsch
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Golden

A very unique German beer style. This is a light-colored ale with medium body. The yeast used to make Kolsch gives the beer a characteristic dry, almost wine-like flavor. Although this is a special hybrid ale/lager yeast strain, it does not require any special care.  You can treat it just like a normal ale fermentation. The results will speak for itself. Hop flavor and aroma are moderate.

Mexican Cervesa

Style: Cervesa
ABV: 4.5%
Color: Golden

Do you like Corona™ or Dos Equis™?

This recipe was an instant hit, and has remained one of our best sellers. It has a light golden color, and a flavor that's lively and refreshing on the palate. The body is light and delicate, making this a very easy-drinking beer. The strain of lager yeast used in this beer is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, so even room temperature will give good results.  If you ferment the beer at room temperature, the flavor will smooth out if you can refrigerate your bottles for a week or two after giving them a chance to carbonate.  The "Cervesa" style is actually a new-world version of classic German beer. This is a great recipe to brew for your friends who aren't interested in exotic beer styles, but everyone can enjoy our "North Of The Border" Cervesa. You supply the limes!

Our "Martinak Dunkel" recipe is a dark German-style lager that isn't heavy. It has a clean malty flavor and aroma, deep color, and moderately light body. The flavor and aroma of toasted and roasted malt are dominant, due to the moderate amount of German hops used in this recipe. This lager ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the special "Tuborg" family yeast strain we use. Good results can be achieved fermenting at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.

Style: German Oktoberfest

Our "Steinful" recipe kit is an Oktoberfest in the more modern tradition of the style. That means it's designed to be crisp, clean, and golden-amber colored rather than dark and bitter. This is by far our most popular German-style recipe kit - it enjoys top-ten recipe status all year long. Oktoberfest has less hop bitterness than traditional German beers like Bavarian pilsner and Bohemian pilsner. The flavor is that of malt with a slight sweetness. Steinful ferments well at a wide range of temperatures, a steady temperature between 58 and 72 degrees will give good results. Beers fermented at the warmer end of the temperature range will benefit from bottle aging, especially if you can refrigerate the bottles for a week or two after they've had a chance to develop carbonation.

Pennsylvania Lager

Style: Classic American Lager
ABV: 4.6%
Color: Amber

Do you like Yuengling Lager™?

We developed our Pennsylvania Lager recipe kit in response to the incredible rise in popularity of this historic microbrew.  This style has more color and flavor than the beers from the American megabreweries, yet it has been a big hit with almost all groups of beer drinkers.  We use a special combination of barley malt extract, invert sugar, and premium American hops to make this recipe.  While this is a great beer all by itself, you can brew Pennsylvania Lager and Pennsylvania Porter to combine them in the glass for authentic Black & Tan.  Real Black & Tan flavor is derived from the combination of a lager and an ale, so you must ferment two separate beers to get it right.  You can also choose to combine the two beers at bottling time to create Black & Tan in each bottle.

Pilsner - Czech Style

Style: Czech-Style Pilsener
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Golden

Do you like Pilsner Urquell™ or Budvar™?

This is our version of the style that originated the Pilsner name.  Czech pilsner is a moderately-light bodied beer with golden color.  Imported hops from the Czech Republic and Germany are used for flavor and aroma.  Our "Home Brewdvar" recipe uses a large amount of relatively low-power hops to achieve its highly-hopped flavor, so it's rich in secondary hop characteristics instead of just plain bitterness.  This recipe ferments well at a wide range of fermentation temperatures, thanks to the authentic Czech strain of "Tuborg" pilsner yeast we use.  Good results can be achieved at temperatures between 50 and 74 degrees, so a good comfortable room or basement is all you need.  Czech Pilsner that's warm-fermented will mellow out a lot if you give the bottles some cold lagering time in the refrigerator after they've had a chance to carbonate.

Schwartzbier - Black Lager

Style: Schwartzbier
ABV: 5.0%
Color: Black

Schwartzbier is an interesting style, but not one you'll find for sale very often. It's almost completely black, yet medium light-bodied - completely unlike a stout or porter. Besides a few microbreweries who brew Schwartzbier, the only one most of us can find in stores is Japan's Sapporo Black - and that's hardly ever imported nowadays. Schwartzbier has a nice roasted malt flavor yet it's easy-drinking and refreshing, with much livelier carbonation than stouts or porters. This is a great beer to introduce lager-loving friends to "the dark side," and you'll like it too!
