A German-style Helles: pale, soft and clean, with just enough hop to keep it from being sweet. This is the lager to brew when you want the beer itself to be the point rather than the hops.

At 20 IBU and 4 EBC there is nowhere for a fault to hide, which is why the lager yeast and the fermentation temperature matter more here than in almost any other kit on this page.

Specifications

  • Wort volume: 16.5 L
  • Original gravity: 1.047 after 3 L of pre-boiled, cooled water is added
  • ABV: 4.9% to 5.9%
  • Bitterness: 20 IBU
  • Colour: 4 EBC
  • Style: German Helles
  • Hops: Magnum and Mittelfrüh
  • Malt: Pilsner and Carahell

What you get

  • 16.5 L of pre-boiled, sealed wort in a cube
  • No yeast — a clean lager strain such as 34/70 suits it

There is no mash and no boil. Tip the wort into a sanitised fermenter, pitch your yeast and hold a steady temperature until fermentation finishes. Add 3 L of pre-boiled, cooled water to bring it to 1.047. Yeast is not supplied, so add a sachet to your order.
