Martin's Munich Dunkel Recipe Kit

Brew a great beer at home, even if it is your very first. This Munich Dunkel recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Munich Dunkel, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Munich Dunkel is the malty dark lager that was the everyday beer of Munich long before pale helles took over. Munich malt is the heart of it, kilned to bring out crust-of-bread and light toast flavors, with just enough dark malt to push the color toward deep chestnut. There is no real roast; the darkness reads as bread and caramel rather than coffee.

At under five percent it stays sessionable, finishing clean and dry so the malt never turns cloying. Biscuit malt adds a dry, cracker-like edge, and Perle and Tettnang keep the hopping in the background.
