Martin's Helles All-Grain Recipe Kit

Make craft beer at home that tastes like the real thing. This Munich Helles recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Helles All-Grain, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

A Munich Helles gives brewers nowhere to hide. It is a pale lager built on malt rather than hops, so its softness and clean finish come down to good grain and a patient cold fermentation. This all-grain version keeps things simple on purpose, letting Pilsner malt set a gentle bread-dough sweetness with only a light touch of Tettnang for balance.

Expect a clear, pale gold beer around 4.6%, dry but not sharp, the everyday lager of Munich beer halls. Hit the fermentation temperature, hold your patience through lagering, and the reward is a beer that tastes of very little except good malt.

Recipe At A Glance

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Great Chit in place of the recipe's Carapils®. We stock dry yeast only, so SafLager S-189 (Pilsner Lager) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Munich Helles Yeast (White Labs WLP860).
