Altbiers are German ales, the specialty of the Dusseldorf region. They're typically amber to a deeper copper brown with the accent on the malt side and should be aged for a smooth and quaffable beverage. Ours is a copper-brown malty beer with an assertive yet balanced hop bitterness and sweet malt notes in the finish. Our kit comes with German grain and hops for an authentic and impressive altbier.
ABV: 5.0 - 5.5 %
In addition to basic brewing equipment, it is helpful to have a brewing thermometer to do a temperature controlled mash with the Munich malt included in the kit.
