FAQ

Expect approximately 4.5% ABV (some notes list ~4.7%); bitterness is moderate with IBU 28–36 and a bitterness rating of 3/5.

2. Which yeast comes with the kit and which should I use?

The kit includes Workhorse Yeast 10 g. For a more traditional lager profile use M54 Californian Lager (recommended). You can brew successfully with either; follow the yeast pack directions for fermentation temperatures.
