Amundsen Helles Good Lager all-grain beer kit – a pale German lager from Amundsen Bryggeri
Helles Good Lager is a pale lager from Amundsen Bryggeri, available here as an all-grain beer kit packed by the brewery. The kit is for all-grain brewers who want to make a clean, easy-drinking lager at home.
Helles is a beer style from Germany, and the name means "pale". Helles Good Lager is a pale, golden beer with a balanced malt and hop profile. It has a fresh taste with a mild malt base, a gentle hop character and a clean, dry finish that works on its own or with food.

Frequently asked questions about the Amundsen Helles Good Lager all-grain beer kit
Which yeast is included, and how is the beer fermented?
The kit includes two packs of SafLager W-34/70, a lager yeast. The recipe calls for 21 days at 12 °C.
Do I need temperature control to brew a Helles?
Yes, it is recommended. 12 °C is cooler than normal room temperature, and lager yeast gives the cleanest result when the temperature is kept stable. A fridge with a temperature controller is a simple solution.
Why do I need a scale?
The hops come in whole 50 g packs and are not portioned to the recipe, so you need to weigh out the right amount for each hop addition.
Why is the malt unmilled?
Once malt is milled, it starts to oxidise and lose flavour and aroma. Brewshop therefore stores the malt unmilled and only mills it when you choose milled malt at checkout. With your own grain mill, you can mill the malt just before brewing.
Is Helles Good Lager available as a Fresh Wort Kit?
Yes. If you don't brew all-grain, Helles Good Lager is also available as a 20L Fresh Wort Kit with ready-brewed, water-adjusted wort – you just add the yeast.
