How to Brew a FANTASTIC HELLES EXPORTBIER at ROOM TEMP with NOVALAGER!
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2023-06-26

I tried out Lallemand Novalager yeast for the first time and decided to make a Helles with it, something easily drinkable and satisfying any time of year. Little did I know that Novalager would be a bit more attenuative than I anticipated and I ended up with a 6% Helles exportbier instead!
