Well. I tapped a bottle last night and it's decent. Def- a law mower beer. A little more amber/dark than a lager should be. The carbonation is perfect. The finish has a slight hint off an off taste. Not sure what it is. But overall I am happy for a first try. Now it's time to...

@moops Not sure. Lme kit was muntons premium lager

@moops The lme kit was a muntons premium lager. That's all it said.

Well said. And I'm doin my homework. But I did not boil the muntons lme for 60min.

A curse huh? Why is that. Is that like a plateau of the yeast feeding ? I'm thinking about starting another batch. Something easier than this lager. Just don't want to run into this plateau.

I the priming sugar at a supply store. I beleive it was 4-6 oz package. Got a feeling this batch will not taste good.

Don't see lager on the list

Thanks! I have read little about the gelatin. Seen it at the local supply shop. Next time I will have to try it.

Guess I should give it at least 4 days before drinking? That's the muntons directions. And so far it's been very very misleading.

Ok. Just finished the bottling. And only lost one. Due to : well honestly, virgin brewer. Haha. Everything went ok. Dissolved one bag of priming sugar from brewers best kit into 2 cups water. Cooled to a chill. Then added into another 5gal bucket with the sugar solution...

Yea. I fermented in the fermenter. Then racked to the bottling bucket. It has day in fridge for a week. Guess I will try to water /sugar mix. Won't that dilute the alcohol content

Have a brewers best bottling bucket. It's filled to the 5gal mark. What gets me is that the directions say pour the sugar straight into bucket and stir and bottle

Hi y'all. Newbie here. Want to know if I should pour my priming sugar into 5gal bucket or into each bottle? Also what is correct amount. The directions I have , have been very wrong do far.

Thanks all! Next time I will listen to what my dad used to say. "Patience is a virtue". Now I know what he meant. Hahaah!

Agreed!

I will take another reading later today and try bottling if FG is the same.

@rausch I found an article last night. About muntons final OG is always higher than it claims. There was an abundance of replies confirming it.

@rlmiller I fermented at 60f. I know I didn't follow lager customs. But my buddy got this for me as a bday gift. An requested a lager. Silly- I bought a lager without educating myself. Haha. Sink or swim right?

Here is a pict of end of first week. Before cold crashing. When the hyd. Was leaning.

Oh. Guess I didn't explain that. Before I did cold crash it. I did measure FG. Was the same ish about 1.012. The hydrometer that came with the brewers best kit. Was leaning while floating. Didn't think it was accurate. So I picked up another one. And y'all know the rest. At least...
