Lager Kits


Beer Kit of the Month Club

We'd like to introduce you to our newest fun thing, the Beer Kit of the Month Club. Members of the Club get an ingredient kit that is exclusive to club members. The kits are designed with the time of year, newest brewing styles, unusual and unique ingredients in mind. For more details, click here!

Lagers are different from Ales in that they need ideally to be fermented at cooler temperatures, 35-55F. They are then stored at a cooler temperature, from which the German word lager is derived, usually near 35F. The more you depart from these temperatures the more ale characteristics you will have in your beer. A lager fermented at warm ale-like temperatures can be quite good, but different from a lager. It will be more fruity and estery in aroma and flavor.

To ensure that we have a specific kit in stock, either call us at 1-800-657-5199 or 257-0099 or e-mail us at wineandhop@gmail.com at least 24 hours before you come into the shop and we'll make sure that your kit is ready for you. Thanks!

Terrace Pilsner
Our pilsner is similar to Old European pilsners of medium malt and assertive hoppiness. To create a robust style beer, ferment at room temperatures. For true lager flavors, ferment cool (50-55°F ) for 10 days, then store at 35-40°F for 3-4 weeks. You’ll notice the imported hop bite in this beer.

Made with one of our premier pilsner malt extracts, selected specialty adjunct grains, imported Czech Saaz hops, lager, or liquid yeast, and corn sugar for bottling. $39.99

U Rah Rah Bock
Our Bock is true to the style: deep copper color, rich malty flavor with chocolate malt undertones. It is medium in hoppiness with a slight “noble” hop aroma. This is a real winter warmer. Let it age for 6-8 weeks to bring out its full flavor. May be fermented cold for cleaner lager type flavors.

Made with over 7 lbs. of malt extract, our imported lager hops, special combination of adjunct grains, dry or liquid lager yeast, and corn sugar for bottling. O.G.: ~1.065 IBU’s: 25. $52.99
