ATF Schwarzbier

The (black beer) is a light bodied lager beer with a mild roast character. An easy drinking beer with aromas of chocolate of coffee blending with a light noble hop aroma.

Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Froth Krisp (Assumed Origin: Weinhenstephan), Fermentis SafLager W-34/70, or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.

If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or you could also try Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager.

Fermentis SafLager W-34/70

Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information.

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast
