The Cold Pour: Lagers
Crisp. Clean. Classic.
This guide is your ticket to brewing lagers that hit all the right notes—from subtle malt sweetness to a soft, balanced hop finish. Whether you’re chasing your first golden pour or dialing in your cold-side game, these recipes are built to help you brew clean, refreshing lagers with confidence. Inside, you’ll get a quick breakdown of what makes lager brewing different—including tips on fermentation temps, yeast selection, and how to properly lager (a.k.a. cold-condition) your beer for maximum clarity and smoothness.
Then it’s straight into five extract-based recipes that deliver big results with minimal fuss:
Foam Head Helles – A smooth, malt-forward lager with floral hop grace and a flawless finish.
Barrelhouse Dortmunder – Soft sweetness meets firm bitterness in this golden, German-style export.
Redline Vienna Lager – Toasty, amber, and smooth with just enough bite to keep things interesting.
Inkwell Schwarzbier – Dark and drinkable, this black lager brings roasted malt and crisp refreshment together.
Cinder Bock – Malty, bold, and built to warm you from the inside out.
Each recipe uses extract-friendly steps, simplified techniques, and smart timing to make cold-fermented beer easier to tackle—without cutting corners on flavor.
Because with lagers, it’s all about patience, precision, and clean results.
