Once you’ve decided how you’re going to maintain the ideal fermentation temperature (see “Homebrewing Lagers: Chilling Out”), you can avail yourself of one of the most delightful beer styles known to man. Authentic German malts give this dark amber lager a restrained nutty roast character with a long, dry finish. The spicy Perle hops blend well with the bready Bavarian yeast character, making it perfect for quaffing.
