    Update on pilsner

    Well the kit itself was £13 and the 1 kg of light spraymalt was £6 so £19 in all .. probably around the $22 mark you said but that's including fermentables not just the extract

    I'm currently brewing (well i think I am ) a Cooper's 86 day pilsner ... Brewing at 12 degrees c .. Now without opening the lid I can't see much of a krasuen on the top . But can see about half an inch of sediment on the bottom . Now I know lager are usually called bottom fermenting beers so...

    Lager fermentation smell

    Lager fermentation smell

    Just wondering ... I took the lid if my fermentation bin today to take a sample.for my gravity reading ..and it smells super eggy .. I've read that lagers do smell like this so I'm guessing this is ok ? Yeast has been pitched for about 4 days :)
