Brewferm Dunkel Bock Beer Kit 12L

A generous and comforting Dunkel Bock

This kit stands out by using high-quality dark malt extracts, providing a silky texture and unique aromatic depth. A perfect balance is struck between malty sweetness and a discreet bitterness that allows notes of caramel and toasted bread to shine. The included yeast helps achieve a final gravity that guarantees the characteristic body of the Bock style.

Expert Tips:

• Fermentation Temperature: Although a "Bock," the provided yeast is versatile. For a clean profile, aim for the lower end of the recommended range (around 18°C) if you cannot ferment at true lager temperatures.

• Maturation: This style improves greatly with time. Let your bottles age for at least 6 to 8 weeks in a cool place to allow the malt flavours to become more complex.

FAQ Flash:

• What sugar should I add? Brown sugar can add a complementary note, but dextrose remains the best choice to avoid altering the malt profile.

• Can I make more? This kit is optimized for 12L to preserve its smoothness. Further dilution would reduce the body and alcohol content.
