Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
 
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Does this have a banana taste?
Chris Piatt on Jan 27, 2023
BEST ANSWER: The yeast choice plays a big role in producing those flavors. I use Lallermand Munich Classic dry yeast. Keep the temps towards the upper end of the scale and do not over pitch yeast if you are looking for those flavors. Hope this helps.

lacking head
Been brewing about 15 years now. Been to Oktoberfest twice. I love a great Dunkel. While the flavor was good (a little too sweet maybe for me), there was little to no head, which made me resort to some pretty drastic pouring techniques to generate said head. Neighbors loved the beer and when you serve this in a plastic cup, no one will even miss that big wheaty, frothy head anyway. I'd consider adding more crystal or carastan to improve the head for future.

Pretty good beer kit
I really liked this kit. Went with the LME option. I did add 8oz. DME and 8oz. brown sugar to bump it up to about 6.1%. Partial boil, 70% late malt addition and used Munich Classic yeast @ 68* to 70*. Turned out 100% great. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will try to ferment @72* to try to get a little more Banana flavor out of it unless it's cool enough to ship Wyeast 3068..maybe not. More Beer should add Munich Classic to the drop down list of yeasts, it's a great option, IMO. Keep up the great kits MB !!

Wow! Reminds me of Bavaria
Wow! The WL liquid yeast was slow to get started but once it kicked off I was so glad I used a blow off tube. This is the best kit yet that I have purchased from MoreBeer. Beats American pale ale, Hefeweizen, Belgian. Going to start a second batch now.

A great kit!
Nice malty kick with that familiar wheat beer taste. This kit is well balanced and expertly put together. I've ordered lots of kits from MoreBeer and never hated any of them.. this one though gets top marks from me, borderline perfect! Will be brewing this one again.
