This \u003cstrong\u003eCzech Dark Lager recipe kit\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Czech Dark Lager, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCzech Dark Lager, or tmave, is the dark counterpart to the country's famous golden beers, still poured fresh at historic Prague brewpubs like U Fleku. It is deep brown to near black, yet far softer than its color suggests. Chocolate and dark bread malt give a mild sweetness, with roast kept low and much of the bitterness coming from Saaz hops rather than the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt around 4 percent it drinks easily despite the dark malt load, finishing smooth and gently sweet rather than dry or burnt. This is a comforting, sessionable dark lager with more nuance than a schwarzbier and none of a stout's heft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Czech Dark Lager recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
