Craft your own light lager with the Featherweight Champion Light Lager Beer Kit, designed for brewers who appreciate quality and balance. This all-grain kit features a precise blend of ingredients to deliver a beer that’s light on the palate yet rich in flavor.
With a modest ABV of approximately 4.2% and an IBU of 23, this lager is perfect for any occasion when you want a beer that refreshes without overpowering. The pilsner malt serves as the backbone of the beer, offering subtle, bready flavors that create a smooth, clean base. A touch of light Munich malt adds depth and a delicate sweetness, balancing the malt character while maintaining the beer’s crispness.
The hops play a supporting role, providing a mild, noble hop bitterness. The Hallertau hops, added early in the boil, contribute a clean bitterness that enhances the malt profile without overshadowing it. The Tettnang hops, added later in the process, introduce a hint of spice and floral notes that add complexity without detracting from the lager’s refreshing character.
Fermented with SafLager W-34/70 yeast, this lager maintains a clean fermentation profile, which enhances its crisp finish and makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a smooth and easy-drinking beer. With a final gravity of 1.007, the Featherweight Champion Light Lager boasts a light body, making it the perfect thirst-quencher after a long day.
This kit is perfect for those new to all-grain brewing or seasoned brewers looking for a reliable, refreshing beer. Enjoy the balance and quality of this well-crafted lager, designed to be light in body but full in flavor.
