The German Helles was first brewed in Munich in the late 19th century, as Bavarian brewers sought to compete with the rising popularity of Czech Pilsners. “Helles,” meaning “bright” in German, became the signature beer of Munich’s beer gardens, celebrated for its golden hue and malty sweetness.
The iGulu German Helles Kit captures this tradition. Brewed with pale malts that deliver a gentle sweetness, balanced by just enough hops to keep it crisp, it’s a beer that’s smooth, approachable, and endlessly drinkable.
Pour yourself a glass and you’ll see why Helles became the heart of Bavarian brewing culture. It’s the beer for long afternoons under chestnut trees, shared conversations, and the joy of community.
By brewing it at home, you’re not just making a lager — you’re keeping alive the tradition of Munich’s iconic beer halls.
Order your iGulu German Helles Brew Kit today and enjoy the golden classic of Bavaria in your own home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this kit without the iGulu Brewing Machine?

Q: What’s the difference compared to a regular IPA?
More intensity — richer flavor and a stronger overall profile
Higher hop load — more hops used for both aroma and bitterness
Bolder aroma — brighter citrus, pine, and tropical notes
Drier, cleaner finish — a crisp West Coast-style ending that makes it more drinkable
Q:Why did you choose Citra for this IPA?
A: Citra is the ideal hop for highlighting what defines a true West Coast IPA:
its bright, citrus-forward character. Naturally rich in vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas, Citra amplifies the style’s signature clarity and brightness.
We don’t use Citra to change the West Coast tradition —
we use it to enhance its most iconic element: clean, radiant citrus.
The result is a hop profile that’s more expressive, more modern, and exceptionally drinkable.
Q: What is Double IPA?
A: A Double IPA intensifies everything you love about IPA:more hops, more aroma, more depth, and a stronger, bolder flavor profile.Compared to a standard IPA, it offers richer hop layers and a more powerful expression — yet remains crisp and balanced when done right.Our Double IPA showcases heightened hop intensity while keeping the finish clean, dry, and unmistakably West Coast.
Q: Is this kit only available in the United States?
A: The IPA kit is currently available in the U.S., but other regions are on the way.
