• Posted in thread: Substitute ale for lager yeast on 03-20-2013 at 08:05 PM
  Is there a good substitute for a lager yeast. Looking to sub out White Labs American Pilsner
  Lager (WLP840) yeast. Just not sure if I can get temps for fermentation down enough to use
  lager yeast. Tha...

  Hi guys, I am looking to brew this soon and was wondering what the cider yeast will bring to
  the table? Also, is there another style of yeast I could use. It's a Yuengling Lager clone that

  +1I would just soak it in a star-San solution and add the hops if that is the route you are
  going. Or you could do what I do (and quite a few others around here) and just toss the hops in

  Quick question, if I were to freeze the hops I'm not using, how would I go about thawing them
  out to use at a later date? Do u thaw them or just use while they are frozen? Thanks.

  That would certainly help with getting a greater aroma/flavor out of it. Dry hopping or using a
  hop tea will also get you that punch you might be looking for. Different people have different
  tolerance...

  I enjoy over the top hop punch also. I like to share my home brews with friends. And as
  everyone knows, everyone has different tastes.

  It all depends on how you look at it...I only late hop (add hops at 20 minutes or less) and so
  my IBUs are pretty closely related to how much aroma and flavor I will get (besides dry hopping
  which is ...

  Ya, I think I am getting it mixed up. I'm thinking that the IBU'S are how hoppy the beer is.
  So, I think I'll make it to spec and keep the left over hops for another brew.
