Biere de Garde | 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit | Extract

  • Highly drinkable, malt-forward beer with a slight toasty nose from Munich malt
  • Includes Northern Brewer hops
  • Estimated ABV: 8%
  • Estimated IBUs: 19-22
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

The "Original Gatoraid", Bière de Garde was said to give the French and Belgian farmer a much needed boost of energy during the day, due to the low alcohol and relatively high residual sugar content. Our version has a bit more malt than tradition dictates, but we think you will find this beer highly drinkable. The malt is the focus of this style of beer, with a slight toasty nose from the Munich. A yeasty character is not uncommon, and is achieved by an extended period of contact with the yeast bed – some commercial breweries go for up to six weeks! This should be fermented at 64°F.

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.080-84
  • SRM (Color Range): 15
  • IBUs: 19-22
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 8%

 
This kit is not available in a Dry Malt Extract option.
