German Alt Extract Beer Recipe Kit

Altbier

This kit brewed well and tasted correct on keg day. Have not tapped it yet.

German Altbier kit is a hit

This recipe is a keeper. The malty backbone is nicely balanced by the hoppy-ness, beautiful copper color and creamy head. Mine came in at a sessionable 4.9ABV. Friends and family are all raving about this one. Thanks NB!

Terrible Customer Service

I received the kit and ordered liquid yeast. It arrived HOT (multiple days of 100+ weather). The liquid yeast had the smallest ice pack with it, and it was like it had been put in the microwave. I asked customer service for a replacement yeast, and they fought me on it and said it would still be good. I pitched the yeast and nothing happened. I ordered a dry yeast overnight from a different company, pitched it, and had activity within 24 hours. I'm worried the liquid yeast ruined the beer and it will be undrinkable. Customer service was awful, they do not stick by their 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and wouldn't give me a refund or send me new yeast. This will be the last time ever ordering from Northern Brewer, and I would recommend staying away from this company altogether.
