ATF Czech Amber Lager

$48.90

Minimum of 1 / increment of 1

The ATF Czech Amber Lager is a flavourful beer that blends the rich, toasted malt characteristics of amber ales with the smooth, crisp qualities of lagers. It boasts a deep, amber to copper hue, with a balanced profile featuring caramel and toasty malt flavours complemented by subtle hints of toffee and dark fruit. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a good hop bitterness that adds a touch of balance without overpowering the malt sweetness. This lager is perfect for those who enjoy a satisfying yet easy-drinking beer with a bit more depth and complexity.

Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Froth Vagabond (Assumed Origin: Budêjovický Budvar) or:

  • Mangrove Jack's Bohemian Lager yeast or
  • Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or
  • Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast

If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or 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.

Note on Water Profile

The recommended water profile for this beer is very soft with no more than 7ppm of any mineral.

The beer may be brewed using other water sources, but may not have the same soft delicate mouthfeel and bitterness. Rainwater, reverse osmosis water, or bottled spring water is ideal.
