That's Amore Italian Pilsner Extract Beer Kit
SKU :
BKA180Italian pilsners are all about restraint — crisp, clean, and elegantly hopped. That's Amore starts there, then breaks the rules in the best way. A Pilsen malt extract base gets a boost from steeped Barke pils, Caramunich, and Carafoam, layering in the rich, slightly bready character and creamy, lasting head of a traditional lager. Classic Spalt and Perle hops bring the refined European character you'd expect — and then a surprise dose of Lemondrop hops sneaks in a bright citrus twist that makes this pilsner unmistakably its own.
Why You'll Love This Kit
- Authentic Italian pilsner character — crisp, dry, and refreshing with a floral, spicy noble hop presence
- Extract brewing, elevated — steeping grains including heritage Barke pils add real grain character to the malt extract base
- A citrus curveball — Lemondrop hops add a bright lemony lift you won't find in a traditional pils
- Balanced specialty malts — Caramunich for gentle depth, Carafoam for body and head retention
Brew it your way: ferment traditionally with 34/70 lager yeast and give it a proper cold lagering, or — if you don't have temperature control — pitch Omega Dry Lutra Kveik yeast, which delivers a clean, lager-like finish at normal room temperatures. Either way, you get a crisp Italian pilsner without compromise.
