This Munich Helles recipe creates a crisp, clean taste and smooth mouthfeel. Originating from Bavaria, Germany, this lager is celebrated for its pale golden hue, balanced maltiness, and subtle hop character. Traditional noble hops contribute just enough bitterness to provide balance without overpowering the malt. The result is a refreshing, well-rounded brew. Try your hand at the craftsmanship of German brewing.
Note: you may need more than one pack of yeast, depending on your selection. Check with a yeast calculator, and order a second pack above, if needed.
