Hi everyone, I have just started a geordie lager kit which is the second kit i have ever embarked on, the first was a brew buddy lager kit and turned out ok, it was cloudy and didnt really taste like the lager im familier with (not that im expecting carlsberg/stella quality just yet). I have made both kits the same way using the same quantity of sugar, same temp etc, and followed the instructions on the box, however for the brew buddy i used a keg after primary fermentation and for the geordie lager I read on another forum to use 2L PET bottles. Something to do with the carbonation? So I have put all my geordie in 12 bottles with a tablespoon of sugar in each one and put them all in a fridge to chill.
Basically what I would like to know is;
Will it matter that my primary was at room temp? (about 17-19 degrees)
Was it ok to go straight from primary to bottling? (after a week of fermentation)
Will my lager be fizzy from using the bottles as apposed to the keg as when i used the keg there really wasnt much fizz.
Basically ANY info on lager brewing in simpleton terms would be very much appreciated as I am very interested in homebrewing but find it all a bit confusing! thank you
