Vienna Lager 5g Kit - Grain Only

A grain-only Vienna Lager kit built from a real Colorado Craft Malt brew. This recipe is designed for a clean, malt-forward amber lager with toast, bread crust, and balanced malt depth.

The kit includes the grain portion only. Hops, yeast, and water adjustments are purchased separately so you can choose the fermentation setup that fits your system.

Hop Schedule

• 1.5 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh at 60 minutes
• 0.5 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh at 10 minutes

Brew Day Assumptions

• Brewhouse efficiency: 70%
• Mash: 60 minutes at 152 F

Fermentation

Ferment at 50 F for 18 days, then raise to 59 F for a 3-day rest. Slowly cold crash before transfer.

Brewer Notes

Vienna Lager rewards a clean fermentation and a balanced grain bill. Serenade and Super Pevec provide the base, Ballad adds Munich-style depth, and Blue adds a small amount of darker Vienna-style toast and color.

Your system efficiency, crush, mash process, boil-off rate, yeast health, fermentation temperature, and lagering process will affect the final beer.
