xIn order to try and keep an accurate accurate inventory while we liquidate our business, we are removing the the yeast selection and additional bundle add-ons. You will need to purchase these separately.
This beer ingredient kit is inspired by Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau’s Optimator Doppelbock. The brothers of St. Francis of Paula invented this style in Munich. Malty and fulfilling, doppelbock is one of the reasons beer is referred to as "liquid bread". This smooth beer is a beautiful ruby brown color with a whipped cream head. The aroma is one of smooth, sweet malt and warming alcohol. It sits rich and malty on the palate.Note: This ingredient kit is a lager beer and requires that the temperature is maintained at ~55 degrees. If you would like to use an ale yeast and ferment at room temperature, you can select the German Ale yeast or the "No Yeast" option and purchase the yeast separately.
High Gravity's extract kits use only the highest quality ingredients and are assembled when you order so they contain the freshest possible ingredients. Each kit makes 5 gallons.

Kit Types Explained
xExtract kits
Extract kits are recommended for beginning brewers.
Extract kits contain malt extract along with specialty grains and is by far the most common kit type. Extract kits rely on the malt extract to provide the fermentable sugars and the grains are primarily for color and flavor. This is the most common type of beer kit and is recommended for those who are just getting started or those that want to make a great tasting beer without a lot of effort.
BIAB kits
BIAB Kits require additional brewing knowledge.
Brew-in-a-Bag eliminates the extract and completely rely on the grains to produce the fermentable sugars needed to make the beer.
BIAB uses one vessel to steep the mash and to boil the wort with the entire volume of liquid added at the start of the mash.
This method also requires that the entire volume be boiled so a 40qt+ pot is needed to boil the wort (pre-fermented beer). It is recommended that you have some experience brewing extract kits before attempting brew-in-a-bag.
This method also requires that the entire volume be boiled so a 40qt+ pot is needed to boil the wort (pre-fermented beer). It is recommended that you have some experience brewing extract kits before attempting BIAB.
All-grain kits
All-grain Kits eliminate the extract and completely rely on the grains to produce the fermentable sugars needed to make the beer. Additional equipment is required, such as a mash tun and hot liquor tank. This method also requires that the entire volume be boiled so a 40qt pot is recommended to boil the wort (pre-fermented beer).
All-grain brewing is the most advanced method for brewing beer and is recommended for those that have had some experience brewing extract kits.
Liquid vs Dry Yeast
xLiquid vs Dry Yeast
We recommend liquid yeast for our High Gravity kits but if you would prefer dry yeast, you can select it instead. Liquid yeasts provide a wider range of flavor profiles but are very susceptible to temperature variations. This can cause problems when shipping during very hot weather. Dry yeast, however, will not be damaged in transport because of weather conditions.
You may also want to choose your own yeast. If so, you can select the "No Yeast" Option.
Ice Pack:
When shipping liquid yeast, an ice pack is highly recommended, especially during hot weather to help ensure the viability of the liquid yeast. There is an additional cost of $1.00. High Gravity will not guarantee the viability of liquid yeast shipped without a cold pack.
