ATF Kiwi Pilsner

The has a clean soft malty sweetness with hints of sweet hay balanced by a firm bitterness. Unlike its Bohemian grandparent it showcases the unique qualities of New Zealand hops with aromas of orange citrus and passionfruit up front with tropical fruit, lemon, lime, and stone fruit being a strong supporting act.

Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Froth Krisp (Assumed Origin: Weinhenstephan), Fermentis SafLager W-34/70, or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.

If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast.

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast

Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast is a unique lager strain that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures and still provide a typical lager flavour profile.

Fermentis SafLager W-34/70

Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information.
