Munich Dunkel All Grain Recipe Kit

Munich Dunkel All Grain Recipe Kit

A classic Bavarian dark lager with plenty of malt character, but without the heaviness you might expect from a beer this dark.

Our Munich Dunkel all grain recipe kit produces a rich copper-to-deep brown lager with layers of toasted malt, gentle biscuit and subtle chocolate notes. The darker malts add colour and depth without making the beer overly roasty, while Hallertau Magnum and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops keep things balanced with a clean, restrained bitterness and a touch of traditional German hop character.

It's a proper malt-forward lager that's incredibly easy to drink — the sort of beer that works just as well with a hearty meal as it does when you're putting your feet up at the end of the day.

Lagering & Serving

Like any good lager, this Munich Dunkel benefits from a little patience. Once fermentation is complete, give it a good period of cold lagering to allow the flavours to mellow and the beer to become smoother and clearer. A few weeks in the cold will make a noticeable difference.

Serve well chilled, but not ice cold, so you can appreciate the rich Munich malt character and subtle hop notes. It's particularly good alongside hearty food such as sausages, roast meats and traditional German dishes.
