Munich Helles recipe kit 20 l

Recipe kit with crushed malt for brewing 20 liters of beer.

A beer for beer lovers! This pale and soft lager beer is a Munich Helles, the classic thirst quencher which is served in large beer steins in the beer halls of Munich.
The German word hell translates to ”light” which this beer most certainly is. Pale and crisp!

For best results the beer should be allowed to ferment cool (10 - 12 °C) preferably ending with a period of 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.

Pale beer styles may benefit from some treatment of the brewing water. Typically, small amounts of lactic acid are added to the mash and sparge water. Normal dosage is 1 - 4 tsp per 20 liter.
