Bock Extract Kit

O.G: 1064 / Ready: 3 months

Invented in Einbeck, made popular in Munich, beer lovers have been drinking this distinctive style in one form or another for almost four hundred years. Bock, which means "goat" in German, is a family of strong, generally sweet lagers that, as Darryl Richman says in his bock book, "provide the extra Gemuetlichkeit needed to endure cold, short, gray days." In keeping with German brewing law, our Bock kit has an original gravity of 1.064, and, after three patient months of cold conditioning, it will become a beautifully thick, dark, and smooth beer.
