drinking a bottle of this beer as we speak, and have been now for about a month . It just keeps getting better! Its crystal clear with a nice pale oaky colour and leaves a slightly fruity aftertaste. My only criticism is that it is a bit sweet which I think may be something to do with the...

Just a quick update. Lager is going very well! I bottled it yesterday after leaving in secondary for nearly 6 weeks!! (been very busy and completely lost track of time!!). As it turns out it was a good thing, the clarity is superb and it will only get better in the bottle. Had a sneaky taste and...

I like my lagers around the 5-5.5% mark so hopefully this will work for me! Will post a review when it's finished....

Got my fridge set up in my garage, with temp controller and brewed yesterday. It started fermenting within about 8 hours! I'll let you know what the finish product is like!!!

Thanks a lot guys! I love this forum someone always has an answer to my questions!

Thanks for the quick replies! Will leaving the bottles to carb at 60 produce off flavours? The saflager 23 that i'm using recommends an average temperature of 54F.

I am planning on brewing a lager from a coopers cerveza kit. Im using a lager yeast and a couple of other adaptations but my question is should i rack to secondary before bottling? I have never done this before (previously I have only made ales) but I want as little sediment as possible in my...

I nearly tried that one myself, it was a toss up between the two! I will have to give it a go next time. :)

A uk website>>> http://www.jbconline.co.uk/glass-bottles/beer-bottles I'm from England so it's not bad for me, but I imagine the shipping cost will be pretty steep for the US!!

Cool thanks! I have the coopers ones myself. I don't suppose you know approximately how many you get in a bag? I am racking to 330ml bottles and will need about 65/70!

Hi all! Just wondered what the general view on carbonation drops are, do they work as well as any other primer? I've got some ready for my next brew, but have never used them before. Drop some comments and let me know of your experiences guys!

From what I have read it sounds like the cerveza needs a little alteration to make a really good beer. I have seen a lot of people describe it as "watery" and "bland". I'm hoping the DME and lager yeast will add some body to the kit. And by the way it is a good idea to sanitise your equipment...

I've never made this kit before, or indeed any lager. However this is my 9th brew (previously I have brewed English ales) and I feel more confident in experimentation. After trawling through this forum I've concocted a recipe which I plan to brew this weekend: Can of coopers cerveza extract...

That's one of the craziest, but amazing things I've ever heard! I hope it works out for you! Please post some pictures of it if you decide to go ahead!! :)
