Schwarzbier All Grain 2.5 Gallon

Schwarzbiers (translated to Black Beer) are dark, German lagers that showcase a beautiful balance between roasted malt flavors, moderate hop bitterness, and incredibly smooth drinkability. Notes of slight coffee and dark chocolate are expressed both in aroma and in the flavor of the beer and tend to linger throughout the drinking experience. Traditional German Hallertau hops add a pleasant but light spice and floral note to the taste increasing the depth and complexity of the brew. Despite its color our Schwarzbier has a light body and a slightly dry finish that rounds out a quaffable brew designed for everyone. Note: This brew uses a Lager yeast and requires a controlled, cold fermentation. See our lagering article. Experimental Brewing Ideas What Ales Ya? Schwarzbiers require lager yeast, but not all of us can lager. Swap the Ale yeast for a clean liquid yeast such as White Labs California Ale (WLP001) or Wyeast American Ale (1056) for a great clean Black Ale.  Tom Boylan Nothing Ales Me Culinary Corner Earthy Grilled Vegetable Eggplant and Mushrooms have a great earthy flavor that pair really well with our Schwarzbier. Grill for a few minutes on each side and pair with a Schwarzbier for the perfect appetizer.  Love2brew Crew Food & Beer Experimenters
