This \u003cstrong\u003eAltbier recipe kit\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Altbier, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAltbier belongs to Duesseldorf, where it has been poured in the old town's brewpubs for generations. The name means \"old beer,\" a nod to the top-fermenting method that predates the lager era. Brewers ferment it warm with an ale yeast, then condition it cold for weeks, which yields a copper beer that is lager-smooth but firmly bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis recipe leans into that bitterness, close to forty IBUs, set against a malt base with a hint of chocolate malt for color. Perle and Tettnang carry the hopping. K-97 stands in as the German ale strain that gives the style its restrained fruit and crisp edge. Served cool from a small straight glass, it is one of Germany's most underrated everyday beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Altbier recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
