Threw together a Cooper's Pilsner today, from the Brewmaster's Selection series. Straight kit and kilo process; used the can and a KG of the Munton's Beer Enhancer. The kit comes with a supposedly proper lager yeast, so I hydrated it and pitched into 22L of wort at about 64*. My basement ambient is 58-60 for the next 2-3 months, so I should be good. Have the bucket sitting on a table for now, after four days I'm going to put it right on the cement floor to keep it as cool as possible (hoping sub-55*).
My plan is to leave in primary for 3-4 weeks, then transfer to a carboy and "lager" it, wither in a swamp cooler on the basement floor, or a ghetto lager chamber a la Revvy.
Here we go!
Side note, my hydrometer broke, sometime between the last time I used it and when I grabbed it out of the bin I keep my gear in. Weird.
