Rotary Phone Steam Style Beer Kit

Step back in time with our Rotary Phone Steam Style Beer Kit. This isn't just a beer kit, it's a time machine, transporting you back to the golden age of steam beer, with a modern twist.

Your journey begins with 2 lbs. of Golden Light Dry Malt Extract. This is the backbone of your brew, providing a light, sweet base that's as comforting as the dial tone of an old rotary phone.

Next, you'll add 3 lbs. of Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract. This is where the magic really starts to happen. The Pilsen malt extract adds a subtle complexity to your beer, enhancing the golden light malt with a hint of grainy sweetness.

Then, you'll dial in the flavor with 1 lb. of Flaked Maize. This ingredient is your secret weapon, adding a unique crispness and dryness to your beer that's as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day.

Your next step is to add 1 lb. of 2-Row Brewer's Malt. This malt is the workhorse of your brew, providing a solid malt backbone and a light, biscuity flavor that's as reliable as your old rotary phone.

You'll then boost the flavor profile with 8 oz. of Victory Malt. This malt is your flavor dial, adding a warm, toasty note to your beer that's as comforting as a familiar voice on the other end of the line.

Now, it's time to add the hops. You'll start with 2 oz. of Saaz Hops. These hops are the ringtone of your brew, providing a classic, spicy aroma and a subtle bitterness that's as invigorating as a ringing phone.

Finally, you'll finish off your brew with 1 oz. of Hersbrucker Hops. These hops are the final touch, adding a mild, herbal aroma and a gentle bitterness that's as soothing as a pleasant conversation.

With the Rotary Phone Steam Style Beer Kit, you're not just brewing beer, you're crafting a story. A story of tradition, innovation, and flavor that's as unique as you are. So, pick up the phone, it's time to start brewing.
