Start your homebrewing hobby with an easy beer recipe. This Amber Kellerbier recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Amber Kellerbier, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Kellerbier is cellar beer, the way lager tasted before filtration became standard. In Franconia, brewers pull it young and unfiltered straight from the lagering cellar, so it arrives soft and hazy, with a fuller malt presence than a polished helles or festbier. The amber version carries more color and a deeper toasted-malt note.

Vienna and melanoidin malts build a bready, faintly caramelized base, while Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Northern Brewer set a firm, old-school bitterness. Left unfiltered, it keeps the fresh yeast character that defines the style.

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Amber Kellerbier. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
