{"product_id":"recipe-kit-classic-bavarian-lager","title":"Recipe Kit Classic Bavarian Lager","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a true-to-style Bavarian lager that makes 21 litres at 4.7% ABV. Golden malts, floral spicy Perle hops and a clean German lager yeast give you the crisp, refined, universally loved character that defines great Munich lager. It is a genuine cool-ferment lager, so it rewards a steady low temperature and a little patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat it is like to brew\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA proper lager hides nothing, which is exactly why it is satisfying to nail. Munich malt builds a soft golden malt base, German Noble Perle hops add a restrained spicy, floral bitterness, and Mangrove Jack's M76 yeast fermented at 8 to 14 degrees produces the clean, crisp finish the style is known for. Get the temperature right and the result is genuinely Bavarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy this kit works\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGerman Noble Perle hops for an authentic spicy, floral, restrained bitterness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMangrove Jack's M76 Bavarian Lager yeast for a clean cool ferment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMunich malt base for a soft golden malt character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA faithful Munich-style lager, almost universally liked\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen it makes sense\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right kit when you are ready to ferment a true lager cool and want a clean, classic result.
