Normal brewing means an hour of boiling and another hour of cooling. Flash Brewing® malt is already boiled and whirlpooled before it's dried, so both of those hours come off your schedule.
01
Mix
Stir the Simcoe® Strike Flash Malt™, Simcoe® Cryo Hops®, and the HopBite™ shot into water in your fermenter, then pitch the Flash Yeast™.
10 minutes
02
Ferment
Seal it and walk away. Flash Yeast™ handles anywhere from 65°F to 85°F, and around 70°F it finishes way faster than a standard lager.
Just a few days
03
Cold condition
It's ready to drink in a few days. For the best clarity and smoothness, bottle or keg and lager it cold at 40°F for a couple of weeks.
Optional: 2 weeks at 40°FWhat's in the glass
Citrus peelGrapefruitLight resinSubtle pine
Simcoe® Strike pours with a white, frothy head that laces down the glass. The malt blend gives it a smooth, clean foundation with a touch of sweetness, just enough to back up the hops and keep the finish refreshing.
Simcoe® Cryo Hops® bring the West Coast side: citrus peel, grapefruit, light resin, and a little pine, with clean bitterness to match. It still drinks like a crisp Pilsner, just a lot hoppier.
Flash Yeast™ keeps fermentation clean so the malt and hops do the talking, without the long cold wait of a traditional lager.

What you need to ferment it
A wide-mouth fermenter is the only requirement, so you can pour the ingredients straight in.
