Biere de Garde - All Grain (Advanced)
KIT577
The "Original Gatoraid", Biere de Garde was said to give the French and Belgian farmer a much needed boost of energy during the day, due to the low alcohol and relativly 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. 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 64F.
