The Kellerbier features a strong Pilsner malt profile supported by the bready, toasty characteristic of Munich malt and melanoidin. The generous, late additions of Tettnang hops provide a floral, somewhat fruity aroma. This is traditionally a cask-conditioned lager; to emulate the wooden barrels, a handful of toasted oak is added to the fermentor. Authentically, the Kellerbier is unfiltered, so avoid the use of kettle finings (such as Whirlfloc) and do not fear the haze.
Our kits provide a tried-and-true recipe, ingredients, and brief directions for making 5 gallons of great beer.
