It's homebrew time again! Check out this all-grain kit for a Schwarzbier. A german dark larger which will absolutely blow your socks off.
Absolutely delicious. Light and sessionable despite its dark colour. Give it a try and you won't regret it.
This week we picked up the True To Style #16 Black Lager kit from The Malt Miller.
Here's what they had to say about it....
This Black Lager is in the style of a German Schwarzbier, which is a clean finishing lager style with some roasted malt depth to the flavour along with a slightly higher bitterness. Youll find this beer to be surprisingly refreshing and drinkable with a delightful roasted malt character! Perfect for drinking around a hot fire on a cold winters day.

Secondary additions:
As this is a lager recipe some patience is desired when fermenting, under normal circumstances, fermentation should be completed in 3-4 weeks however this may be sped up if fermenting under pressure at a higher temperature.
We would also suggest a period of lagering after fermentation is complete to allow for maturation of flavours. Ideally between 3-6 weeks.
We have supplied a single packet of yeast in this kit. To ferment your batch in a healthy manner we would suggest that your either build a yeast starter for this or purchase a second packet of yeast.
