This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 07A - Vienna Lager.

Summer has come and this is the perfect beer for a hot summer day. Cold, fizzy and super easy to drink. We've used a high percentage of Maize to lighten the body and provide a background impression of sweetness. Fermentation is done with M54 California Lager for crispness and minimal esters. For hops we've stayed in New Zealand: Wakatu & Motueka since we wanted a hint of lime (so you don't have to stuff a lime wedge into your beer).

ABV: 5.4%

Our kits are fresh! We assemble the ingredients after you place your order. The grain bill will be milled, unless you tell us in your order comments that you prefer it not to be.

This recipe has been designed to use acid malt to reach the target mash pH. If you wish to use the recommended mineral additions to achieve the intended flavour profile, these are to be added to the boil only. This kit does not include the minerals, but these can be purchased separately.

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to X5 - NZ Pilsner.

We just can't get enough of NZ Pilsners! This one, unlike others we've made before, uses the holy trinity of Kiwi hops: Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin & Motueka - and the bitterness is kept to a civil level. Have a sip and you feel home. Nice.

Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast. The biggest selling dry yeast we stock.

US-05 is an American ale yeast which produces well balanced beers with a very clean, crisp end palate.
Forms a firm foam head and presents a very good ability to stay in suspension during fermentation.

Bottom fermenting yeast originating from Berlin (Germany) recommended for the production of fruity and estery lagers. Its lower attenuation profile gives beers with a good length on the palate.

FERMENTATION: ideally 12-15°C

SafAle™ WB-06 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus and is characterized by a particularly high attenuation.

This typical yeast strain is recommended for wheat beer fermentations and produces subtle estery and phenol flavor notes (POF+) such as clove notes typical of wheat beers. Allows to brew beer with a high drinkability profile and presents a very good ability to suspend during fermentation.

FERMENTATION: ideally 18-24°C

PLEASE NOTE: This yeast has a BBD of September 2025 and has therefore been reduced in price. We believe this yeast will still have good viability but if you are not happy with it's performance, please contact us for a full refund.
