The ATF German Pils is a clean and crisp light bodied beer with a pleasant mild grainy malt sweetness superbly balanced with a refreshing bitterness and dry finish. Hallertau Mittlefruh hops provide a classic noble hop aroma with notes of fresh hay, sweet spices, and dried flowers.
Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Froth Krisp (Assumed Origin: Weinhenstephan), Fermentis SafLager W-34/70, or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.
If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or you could also try Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager.
Fermentis SafLager W-34/70
Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). Click here to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information.
Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast
Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast is a unique lager strain that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures and still provide a typical lager flavour profile.
