Japanese Rice Lager - 5 Gallon All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

The Japanese Rice Lager 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit allows homebrewers to create a full-size batch of clean, refreshing Japanese-style lager at home. This ingredient-only kit includes pre-measured Pilsen Dry Malt Extract, rice syrup solids, Sorachi Ace hops, and yeast options to produce approximately five gallons of crisp, balanced lager. Designed for brewers who already own equipment, it provides consistent results in a traditional 5-gallon format.

This recipe delivers a pale straw-colored beer with light body and crystal clarity when properly lagered. Rice syrup solids increase fermentability and contribute to a dry, polished finish, while Sorachi Ace hops provide subtle lemon zest and gentle herbal notes. At approximately 5.4% ABV and 15 IBUs, the finished beer is smooth, balanced, and highly drinkable.

The 5-gallon yield produces approximately 48–52 bottles or a full keg, making it ideal for gatherings, warm-weather events, or home tap systems. Brewers may select their preferred yeast format based on fermentation preference.

To brew the recipe, users complete a standard boil, ferment at proper lager temperatures, and allow time for cold conditioning to achieve optimal clarity and crispness. The beer is typically ready to enjoy in about 4–6 weeks.

Designed for reliable performance and clean flavor expression, the Japanese Rice Lager 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit offers an accessible way to brew a refined, easy-drinking lager at home.
