Lager Beer Recipe Kits

Lager beers are renowned for their clean, crisp flavors and have a rich history spanning various cultures worldwide. Originating from Central Europe, particularly Germany and the Czech Republic, lagers are characterized by their use of bottom-fermenting yeast strains, which ferment at cooler temperatures, resulting in a smooth and refined taste.

Our collection of Lager Beer Recipe Kits offers both extract and all-grain options, meticulously developed by SoCal Brewing Supply and our close collaborators. These award-winning recipes encompass a diverse range of lager styles, allowing brewers to craft authentic beers that reflect traditional brewing techniques.

Lager fermentation requires strict temperature control, typically fermenting in the low to mid-50s°F, depending on the yeast strain and style. Many brewers utilize fermentation chambers or temperature-controlled environments to maintain these conditions, ensuring the signature smoothness and clean profile that lagers are known for.
