This is how easy brewing beer at home should be. This Eisbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Eisbock, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Eisbock is the strongest member of the bock family, made by freezing a finished doppelbock and pulling out the ice to concentrate what remains. The story, likely apocryphal, credits a Kulmbach cellar hand who left barrels out in winter and found the unfrozen core stronger and smoother. Whatever the origin, the method leaves a dark, intense lager with deepened malt sweetness and a warming finish.

At eight percent this recipe sits at the softer end of the style, plenty of body and dark-fruit malt depth without the heat of the most extreme examples. Perle and Tettnang stay quiet so the concentrated malt holds center stage. Sip it slowly from a small glass.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Munich Malt in place of the recipe's Munich II (Weyermann); Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramunich® III. We stock dry yeast only, so SafLager W-34/70 (German Lager) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's German Lager (White Labs WLP830).

  • 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 Eisbock. 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
