Your BBB - Hans Down Eisbock beer is a strong, dark lager that is made by freezing the beer after fermentation and removing the ice that forms. This process concentrates the alcohol, sugars and flavors in the beer, resulting in a rich, full-bodied beer. Your Eisbock beer is typically served in a small glass, and is often enjoyed after a meal. The recommended temperature to drink Eisbock is 55-60 Fahrenheit. Your beer will have an ABV comparable to wine. Some commercial Eisbock beers have ABVs as high as 15%. 

Please read before purchasing. The cold distillation process should be done after secondary. You should freeze the beer to at about -3 Fahrenheit for approximately 10 hours. The best way to do this is to keg the beer and put it in a box freezer. If you cannot do this, you can use growlers by filling them about 3/4. Do not fill all the way because the fluid volume will expand and there is a risk of the glass breaking as ice has more volume than liquid. Put them in your freezer and do not open them. Once the beer is slushy with noticeable ice chips, separate your beer from the ice and bottle immediately.
