Martin's International Pale Lager Recipe Kit

Make beer at home like the pros, one batch at a time. This International Pale Lager recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's International Pale Lager, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

International Pale Lager is the beer more people drink than any other: the pale, gold lager that spread out of central Europe and got adapted for easy drinking in nearly every brewing country. It pours light straw with a soft grainy malt note and a clean, lightly bitter finish. The body is light and the whole thing is built for a second glass rather than for study.

This version keeps things all-malt, with a little Vienna and crystal for a shade more color and depth than a plain pilsner would carry. The bittering comes from Chinook, an American hop, before Saaz and Tettnang settle the finish back toward its European roots.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Crystal 20 in place of the recipe's Caramel 10. We stock dry yeast only, so SafLager W-34/70 (German Lager) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's German Lager (White Labs WLP830).
