The easiest way to make brewery quality craft Lager at home. Black Rock's newest BIB (bag in box) range gives you everything you need to brew craft beer at home. No more sugar additions, no more second can, no more heating cans!

Just mix the bag with water, pitch the yeast and away it goes!

This Crafted Lager has a combination of 83% MaltEurop lager malt, 10% sucrose, and 7% Gladfield wheat malt to create a crisp and refreshing backbone, with NZ Hops Green Bullet™ hops for bitterness. It includes a 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05 style specific yeast.

This Lager pours a pale golden color with an SRM of 3, offering a clean and crisp malt profile. The blend of MaltEurop lager malt and Gladfield wheat malt provides a smooth, light body with a subtle sweetness. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is well-balanced, contributing to a refreshing finish with an IBU of 26. At 5.3% ABV, this Lager is both sessionable and satisfying, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

Change the brew volume to alter your ABV and IBU (approximate values below):

18L - ABV 6.8%, IBU 33
20L - ABV 6.1%, IBU 30
23L - ABV 5.3%, IBU 26
25L - ABV 4.9%, IBU 24
We highly recommend using dry hopping practices during fermentation on these kits to get real crafty hop aroma and flavour. Dry hopping is adding fresh palleted hops* into your fermenter as the fermentation activity starts to slow (approximately after 5-7 days).

*Always use fresh, nitrogen flushed, refrigerated hops available from your local home brew retailer to prevent oxidation and staling of your finished beer.

Suggested hop additions:

German Pilsner: Use Hallertau Mittelfrüh and/or Tettnang for a classic, crisp bitterness with floral and herbal notes.
Czech Pilsner: Use Saaz hops for a delicate, spicy, and earthy aroma.
American Lager: Use Cluster and/or Liberty for a clean, mild bitterness with subtle floral and citrus notes.
Vienna Lager: Use Perle and/or Saaz for a balanced bitterness with a hint of spice and floral character.
Helles Lager: Use Hersbrucker and/or Hallertau Mittelfrüh for a mild, balanced bitterness with a touch of floral and herbal notes.
