Notes

Smooth, clean, and rather rich with a depth of malt character. A nice deep gold color.

We recommend boiling your hops in a hop bag (muslin sock) or straining them out before primary fermentation.

Add Irish moss or whirlfloc to your boil for the last 15 min. for better clarity. (not included in the kit)

Lagers require additional yeast, please make an appropriate yeast starter, or purchase an additional yeast package.

Diacetyl Rest:
Before transferring your beer to a secondary fermenter, raise the temperature to the ale range(60-70F) for 2-3 days. The purpose is to allow the yeast to reabsorb their diacetyl (tastes like movie theatre butter) that is naturally produced during fermentation.
