FAQs: Homebrew All Grain Lager Recipes

Are all grain lager recipe kits suitable for beginners?

All grain lager brewing is achievable for beginners, but lager styles are less forgiving than ales – the clean, minimal malt and hop profile means fermentation faults show up more clearly in the finished beer. Traditional lager yeast ferments best between 8–12°C, which usually requires a dedicated fermentation fridge or cool space to manage properly. That said, a newer generation of warm-tolerant lager strains has made the process considerably more accessible – WHC High Voltage and WHC Blitz Lager are both capable of fermenting at ale temperatures while producing a clean, lager-like character, and Mangrove Jacks M24 Versa Lager operates across a wide temperature range from 10–25°C – removing the cold fermentation requirement almost entirely.

For a genuinely beginner-friendly first brew that drinks like a lager without the technical demands of cold fermentation, it’s also worth considering a Kölsch – technically an ale, but clean, crisp and lagery enough in character to scratch the same itch, fermented comfortably at room temperature without any specialist equipment. For brewers who do have temperature control and want to go straight into a proper lager, the Juanito The Bandito Mexican Lager is the most approachable all grain lager recipe in the range – a straightforward grain bill, flexible mash approach and a well-documented fermentation profile.

How long can I store my lager ingredients before brewing?

For the best results, we always recommend brewing your all grain lager recipe as fresh as possible. Every recipe kit is prepared to order, with malts milled to your chosen specification and ingredients packed specifically for your brew.

If you’re planning future brew days, most ingredients can be stored for up to 12 months when kept in cool, dry conditions, although yeast is best used sooner wherever possible. Fresh ingredients, healthy yeast and good storage all play an important role in producing the clean malt character and crisp finish expected from a well-brewed lager.

What makes a crisp lager recipe?

Crispness in a lager comes from grain bill, fermentation temperature, yeast selection and lagering time – get all four right and the beer almost delivers itself. A simple grain bill built around quality Pilsner malt is the foundation: too many specialty malts muddy the finish and work against the clean, dry character that defines the style.

Mash temperature matters too – a lower mash around 62–65°C produces a more fermentable wort, which means less residual sweetness and a drier, crisper finish.

Fermentation temperature control keeps the yeast working cleanly without producing off-flavours, and cold conditioning after fermentation – ideally 4–6 weeks at close to 0°C – is what rounds out the beer and develops the bright clarity and clean finish that separates a well-brewed lager from an average one.

The True to Style Dry Hopped Pilsner and Smells Lagery German Helles are good examples of recipes built around this philosophy – both use quality Pilsner malt, noble hops and clean lager yeast as the core of what makes them work.

How do I get a clean finish in an all grain lager?

A clean lager finish is primarily a product of healthy yeast, controlled fermentation temperature and adequate cold conditioning time – in that order.

Pitching enough healthy yeast is often underestimated: lager yeast needs a higher pitch rate than ale yeast, and underpitching is one of the most common causes of off-flavours in homebrew lager. A yeast starter is worth making for most lager recipes when using liquid yeast, and for dry yeast you’ll generally need two packets for a standard 23 litre batch – underpitching is one of the most common causes of off-flavours in homebrew lager and not worth cutting corners on.

During fermentation, keeping the temperature stable within the yeast’s recommended range prevents diacetyl and acetaldehyde production – a diacetyl rest toward the end of fermentation, raising temperature to 15–17°C for a few days, helps the yeast clean up before cold crashing.

After packaging, cold conditioning at 1–4°C for at least four weeks – longer if possible – is what gives the beer its characteristic brightness and clean finish. All grain lager recipe kits at The Malt Miller include style-specific brew sheets covering fermentation and lagering guidance for each recipe.

Where can I buy all grain lager recipe kits in the UK?
