German Dunkel - 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

The German Dunkel 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit allows homebrewers to create a full-size batch of traditional Munich-style dark lager at home. This ingredient-only kit includes pre-measured base and specialty grains, Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, and your choice of lager yeast to produce approximately five gallons of rich, malty beer. Designed for brewers with a complete all-grain system, it delivers consistent results in a classic 5-gallon format.

This recipe emphasizes malt richness without heaviness. A Weyermann Munich Malt Type 1 backbone provides deep, bready character, while small additions of Caramunich, Chocolate Malt, and Midnight Wheat round out the color and depth. Hallertau Mittelfruh hops contribute gentle floral bitterness and noble hop character. When mashed, fermented, and conditioned correctly, the beer develops clarity and a smooth, malt-forward finish.

The 5-gallon yield produces approximately 48–52 bottles or a full keg, making it ideal for events, gatherings, or home tap systems.

To brew the recipe, users mash and sparge the grain bill, boil with hop additions, ferment under controlled temperatures, and package by bottling or kegging. During lagering, the beer develops rich malt depth and refined drinkability.

Designed for reliability and authentic flavor, the German Dunkel 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit offers an accessible way to brew a traditional Munich-style lager at home for brewers ready to mash their own grain bill.
