Description

This Candian Lunar Lager is a refreshing, easy-to-brew beer that captures the essence of a classic Canadian-style lager. Using amber hopped malt extract as its base, it delivers a smooth, slightly sweet malt character balanced by the subtle floral notes of Willamette hops. The beer ferments cleanly to a light body with a crisp finish, making it perfect for casual gatherings or quiet evenings. Ideal for novice brewers, this recipe requires minimal equipment and simple techniques. The result is a clean, drinkable lager that showcases the harmony between malt and hops without overwhelming complexity. Enjoy it chilled for a refreshing experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the amber hopped malt extract in 1.5 gallons of water in a large sanitized pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and maintain a steady simmer for 45 minutes.
  3. Add the Willamette hops during the final 5 minutes of the boil.
  4. Remove from heat and cool the wort rapidly to room temperature.
  5. Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter and pitch the ale yeast.
  6. Seal the fermenter with an airlock and let it ferment for 3 weeks.
  7. Dissolve the corn sugar in a small amount of warm water and add it to the beer before bottling.
  8. Bottle the beer, seal tightly, and store at room temperature for 2 weeks to carbonate.
