Product details

Alt refers to an old-school, top-fermented style of brewing ale rather than a relatively modern bottom-fermented lager. Altbier is especially associated with the city of Dusseldorf. Alts are a bit difficult to explain to the uninitiated - kind of like a hoppy Oktoberfest? A very malty pale ale? You'll just have to try a glass of coppery-brown, rich, caramelly, and bitter ale to get the idea.

German Altbier kit is a hit

This recipe is a keeper. The malty backbone is nicely balanced by the hoppy-ness, beautiful copper color and creamy head. Mine came in at a sessionable 4.9ABV. Friends and family are all raving about this one. Thanks NB!

Terrible Customer Service

I received the kit and ordered liquid yeast. It arrived HOT (multiple days of 100+ weather). The liquid yeast had the smallest ice pack with it, and it was like it had been put in the microwave. I asked customer service for a replacement yeast, and they fought me on it and said it would still be good. I pitched the yeast and nothing happened. I ordered a dry yeast overnight from a different company, pitched it, and had activity within 24 hours. I'm worried the liquid yeast ruined the beer and it will be undrinkable. Customer service was awful, they do not stick by their 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and wouldn't give me a refund or send me new yeast. This will be the last time ever ordering from Northern Brewer, and I would recommend staying away from this company altogether.

In the fermenting bucket

German Alt Bier - for Oktoberfest

Review: Seemed to brew well and ferment well with the liquid yeast, but is somewhat on the sweeter and darker sides which reduces my liking somewhat.
I carbonate during the conditioning phase, in clear plastic (2 liter) club soda bottles, and it carbonated well within a week of bottling.
Looking forward to conditioning continuing to improve this beer, and convert the sweeter tones to maltier tones – fingers crossed

Bubbly For the Deserving

A good flavored mellow satisfying extract brew.
