Cinco de Beero All Grain Beer Kit

Cinco de Beero

The Cinco de Beero All Grain Beer Kit is designed for brewers who want to produce a clean, crisp, and refreshing lager style beer at home. Inspired by classic Mexican style lagers, this recipe creates a light bodied beer with a smooth malt base and a gentle hop balance that keeps it highly drinkable.

Built on a carefully selected grain bill of Muntons Lager malt, Muntons Vienna, and GEB Flaked Torrefied Maize, this kit delivers a pale golden beer with subtle malt sweetness and a clean, crisp finish. The addition of maize helps lighten the body and enhances drinkability, giving the beer its characteristic smooth and refreshing profile.

Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops provide a delicate bitterness and mild floral character, perfectly complementing the malt base without overpowering it. Fermented with Fermentis W-34/70, this beer develops a clean and well-defined lager profile with excellent clarity and balance.

The result is a highly drinkable lager style beer that is perfect when served cold, making it an ideal choice for warm weather or relaxed occasions. Designed for brewers using standard all grain equipment, this kit offers a straightforward brewing process with consistently satisfying results.
