That's right!! That's right it adds to it, make it yourself, this beer is awesome. Sometimes I really hop it. More like 4 or even 6 oz of hops when I feel like it. 2 oz is great.

Long time? Interesting. 7 to 14 maybe. However I have done both. I usually fridge it after 14, maybe on 21 day I tap it. Co2 to keep it good and charged. By then it's carbonated and ready to enjoy. Cheers keep em coming '

Not sure what I meant either but it makes great beer. I wouldn't change the recipe cause it makes a good brew.

It others word what I meant to say is, yes it adds carbonation later. A little Carapils

Well only cause the Carapils gives it one more pinch of dark than 60L. It's a darker heavier pinch of grain. In the long run it'll at the extra kick of carbonation from the dark molasses malt after the mash! To be honest, that's the only reason why I add it to the recipe

9 lbs Pale Ale Grain 1lb Crystal 60L 1lb Carapils 1 oz Cascade hops 1oz Perle Hops White Labs American Ale Yeast

I agree. Everything sounds good. Lager means "longer" in beer lingo. So patience is the best beer ingredient for you. A lot of brewers follow the steps, make it perfect, sanitize....if you did all of this by the book.patience throw some of that in, sit and wait 40 days later

Absolutely! I bought a used fridge. 20 bucks. A cool tshrt, ice water batch. Patience patience patience is also the better ingredient. It'll be alright

Yeah man I live in Florida. I have brewed many of many batches in degrees of 78, room temp. If you keep it lower than 75 that should be your goal! I higher temp ferment could and will make a sourness start, so pinch your growth. Buy a refrigerator to place your fermenter into or control your...

Another good thought to home brew fermentation - buy a refrigerator big enough to stick your fermenter into. I brew in fl and its hot! Indoor temps of 78 degrees sometimes still fermenter my beer strong! However the refrigerator can be controlled with an on off switch, but it on low and control...
