Martin's Dampfbier Recipe Kit

Make delicious beer at home without a chemistry degree. This American Amber Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Dampfbier, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass. Dampfbier, or "steam beer," comes from the Bavarian Forest near the Czech border, a poor region that brewed it long before refrigeration made lagering easy. The trick is the yeast. An all-barley amber wort is fermented warm with a Bavarian wheat strain, so you get the banana and clove esters of a hefeweizen sitting on top of a bready, lightly toasted malt base. Hallertau Mittelfruh keeps the hopping soft and old-fashioned. Amber in the glass and lively with carbonation, it is a rustic beer that tastes older than it looks. It also has nothing to do with the California "steam beer" that shares the nickname. What's In The KitYour American Amber Ale recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
