MJ Craft Series Golden Lager with Dry Hops is a well-bodied, golden and crisp lager kit from Mangrove Jack's, light and malty with hints of vanilla and red fruits and a clean, subtle bitterness to finish. It makes 23 litres, about 40 pints.
What's in the pouch
- Hopped malt extract
- A sachet of dry hops for extra aroma
- Mangrove Jack's M54 Californian Lager yeast, for a clean, crisp ferment
You'll also need
- 1kg of Brewco Sugar (Dextrose) 1kg or brew enhancer, or 1.2kg of Mangrove Jack's Pure Liquid Malt Extract
- A fermenter, ChemSan no-rinse sanitiser and a hydrometer
- Bottles or a keg, and Mangrove Jack's Carbonation Drops for easy priming
How to brew it
Mix the extract and your fermentable with water in a sanitised fermenter, top up to 23 litres, pitch the yeast and add the dry hops towards the end of fermentation. Mangrove Jack's recommend fermenting at 18-20°C. Full steps are in the Mangrove Jack's Craft Series instructions.
