A crisp, ultra-clean Japanese-style lager with delicate malt character and refreshing drinkability.

The Japanese Rice Lager 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit produces a pale straw-colored lager (approximately 2.6 SRM) with crystal clarity when properly lagered. Built on Pilsen Dry Malt Extract and rice syrup solids, this recipe delivers a light body and brilliantly clean finish.

Rice syrup solids boost fermentability and create a dry, crisp profile without thinning out flavor. Sorachi Ace hops provide gentle bitterness with bright lemon zest and subtle herbal notes, adding lift without overpowering the delicate malt base.

At approximately 5.4% ABV and 15 IBUs, this lager offers balanced smoothness and highly refreshing drinkability.

  • Pilsen Dry Malt Extract

Brewing 5 gallons of Japanese Rice Lager follows a traditional lager process and rewards careful temperature control:
