German Alt Extract Kit

O.G: 1052 / Ready: 6 weeks

German for "old," this ale predates lagers and has remained a beloved institution in northern German cities like Hanover and Dusseldorf. It has since been adopted by brewers around the world. Carry on the tradition in your home brewery with this kit. Our Alt is a deep red-brown ale with a great balance between hop dryness and sweet malt.
