Biere de Garde - Extract Beer Kit
KIT377
Biere de Garde was said to give the French and Belgian farmer a much needed boost of energy during the day due to the high alcohol and relatively high residual sugar content. Our version has a bit more malt than tradition dictates, but we think you will find this beer highly drinkable. The malt is the focus of this style of beer, with a slight toasty nose from the Munich extract. A yeasty character is not uncommon, and is achieved by an extended period of contact with the yeast bed - some commercial breweries go for up to six weeks! This should be fermented at 58-64F. Lager or ale yeast fermented at cool ale temperatures, followed by long cold conditioning.
