Silver Otter Winter Lager Clone Beer Kit – Extract

When the temperature drops and the nights stretch long and quiet, your brew should match the season—and *Silver Otter Winter Lager Clone Beer Kit – Extract* delivers just that. This winter lager brings you deep caramel warmth from Crystal 60 malt, layered over a foundation of pale and amber dry malt extract that lends a rich, malty body without becoming too heavy. It’s balanced with a gentle bitterness from Hallertau hops and a late addition of Tettnang for a mild floral lift, creating a rounded, approachable profile.

What really sets this beer kit apart is its optional spice addition—sweet orange peel and a stick of cinnamon added near the end of the boil. Use them to introduce a subtle seasonal twist, perfect for sipping by a fireplace or enjoying at a winter gathering. You’re in control: include the spice for a festive touch or leave it out for a clean, classic winter lager experience.

With an ABV around 5.6%, this lager clone has enough strength to warm you without weighing you down. The German lager yeast finishes crisp and clean, letting the malt character and gentle spice shine through. *Silver Otter* is a comforting, flavorful brew that invites you to slow down and savor the quiet beauty of winter.
