Recipe kit with crushed malt for brewing 20 liters of lager beer.
In Bavaria, the last lager beers of the brewing season were traditionally brewed lwhile it was still cold in the month of March (“Märzen” in German). This lager beer is dominated by a bready and nutty maltiness with a hint of dried fruits, balanced by a mild bitterness and herbal hoppy aromas.
The yeast Saflager S-189 suits the beer style well and the beer is best fermented cool (12 - 14 °C) for about 3 weeks, followed by some additional cold lagering.

For improved beer clarity, we recommend using finings in the wort boil.
Protafloc attracts haze-forming particles and settles out during chilling, making it easier to separate it from the clear wort. This results in a beer with less haze.
