This recipe is designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guide 5A – German Leichtbier.

Leichtbier is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

German Leichtbier is a modern style, literally meaning ‘light beer’. It was originally marketed to the diet conscious as having lower carbohydrates, alcohol and calories. This might sound unappealing but think again because this German take on a light American lager brings more flavour and drinkability than you would expect. With on obvious and refreshing level of bitterness, despite the relatively low IBUs, and carrying noticeable malt and hop flavours, this bright, clean, pale straw-coloured lager will be perfect for a long afternoon’s drinking over the summer holiday season. Even better, enjoy it with a pretzel or some bratwurst fresh off the BBQ. Prost.

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 04A - Munich Helles.

A not quite traditional German Helles lager brewed using Best Malz. This malt is newly available in New Zealand after centuries of production in Germany. Light and highly sessionable, perfect for a hot day.

We used some Hallertau Blanc to give it a subtle fruity twist - don't tell the Germans!

ABV: 5.0%

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.

This recipe has been designed to use acid malt to reach the target mash pH. If you wish to use the recommended mineral additions to achieve the intended flavour profile, these are to be added to the boil only. This kit does not include the minerals, but these can be purchased separately.

In order to get really low DO (dissolved oxygen) in your beer cans, it's important to fill the can right to the top to the point where it's slightly overflowing.  This inevitably means some drips on the side of the can will flick off sideways when you turn the machine on.

This splash guard prevents these annoying splashes making a mess in your brewery area.

Also fantastic for tight spaces or congested bars where growler filling is done right next to other staff and equipment that you do not want to get splashes on.
