Hi
I just aquired a fridge from my gran and fancy having a go at some lager. I'd ask if anyone kindly has any recipes for a basic lager that they would recommend??
I'd work out my own recipe as I can work out the amount of extract to use given that I'm aiming for 3.5% final grav but I realise that as far as hops go variety and final IBU's are everything so what kind of bitterness should I aim for? I finally figured out the working out the other day for the kettle utilisation etc and it kind of made me realise that how much hops I use in a recipe all depends on the size of my boil kettle (which is 2gal.)
thanks
Matt
