Here’s how to brew your own Czech Dark Lager(Tmavé) at home.
In this video I walk through the process of how to brew the 13° Tmavé on a 5 gallon scale.

Tanglefoot Brewing is a small Czech lager focused brewery in Temple, TX.
In 2021 the brewery opened in the back of my family’s BBQ restaurant that had been operating for 53 years. The restaurant has since closed and Tanglefoot has now taken over the entire space.
This YouTube channel was started to document the process of opening, running and growing a small craft brewery.

Andy, thanks for posting the recipe. The beer is still lagering but I couldn't help myself to grab a sample. Almost carbonated fully since it was spunded/pressurized during lagering. My OG was a bit low since I was really high on volume but the FG was right at 4 plato. Really liked how this beer came out. Want to try it again with the White labs Budvar yeast as I've really liked that yeast with the two Pils I made. Used wyeast 2278 for this batch.
The beer looks nice, but you need to work on your typography.
I am very excited to brew this. I love Dark Czech Lagers. I tried brewing one myself a few months ago. It was fine. Thanks for the recipe and tips.
Do you actually have a source for Saaz that gets you close to 5% alpha acid? If so, please share. Everything I have ever brought has been under 3%.
If you did this exact recipe but pressure fermented @66-68 degrees. What PSI would you recommend?
When I designed the first tmavé documented in Virginia, Morana with Devils Backbone, back in 2010, I did a boat load of research in Czech, Slovak, and German settling on a recipe of Pilsner, Munich, CaraBohemian, and Carafa II spezial. Having just got back from Prague and hanging out with Evan, I am going to change up my homebrew version to massively bump up the Munich to maybe 70% of the grist, in line with the 14° Fabián tmavé from Hostomice.
Thank you for sharing, I will absolutely be brewing this soon. One dumb question, under the Boil instructions, you list to boil for 30 minutes, then to add hops at 60 minute mark. So is it a 90 minute boil?
I hope your channel blows up! It’s so great getting good recipes and explanations from a pro
would you prefer weyermann barke pilsner over weyermann floor malted pilsner for the base malt for the czech dark?
