So have anyone experienced any fusels and esters when doing a warm pitch of lager yeast?

Welcome and good luck with your first AG. I have a few relatives and friends living in Yellowknife... my cousin wanted me to go back with him to work for him a few years ago. I don't like the kind of cold you guys get there, and my job of giving heat would put me in more of a cold situation...

You'll always remember your first brew. Good luck.

I think 5 years would be pushing it. Do you want a chance of ruining a batch to save a few dollars worth of yeast and hops?

Heini in a can is great. No skunk.

A gal named Dave? Well I guess she could if Johnny Cash can sing about a guy named Sue.

I hope it all fares well for your brew, but you might want to read this for the next time taken from BYO I do suggest using caution when using pure oxygen to oxygenate wort. The problem you face is that the solubility of oxygen in wort is much higher when pure oxygen is used instead of...

If you are doing extract you don't need to, but doing AG, you'll need the reactions a long boil provides. protein coagulation, boiling off volatiles etc.

Still a lot of crystal. German lagers are more malt and hops than sweet.

Yeah I already saw that one. Nice if you can afford it, but I doubt all that was included. :D

I have made a lot of great beer with dry yeast.

Our Canadian twist off bottles are thicker glass than one time use twist off bottles commonly used in the states. Most of our bottles ( at least my local ones ) are meant to be reused by the breweries. I have used twist off bottles along with normal caps for more than 25 years without worry. It...

Hey, welcome to another Canadian. Give this free on-line book a read http://www.howtobrew.com/ it will help you in so many ways as it did to most of us. There are a couple of Canadian sites you may also want to have a look at also. http://www.canadianhomebrewers.com/index.php...

You want scorching? Look at this and tell me if that wouldn't scorch wort.

FV = fermentation vessel

You know that now your brew is spoiled beyond repair and you must ship it to me for proper disposal. :-) Relax. I have a brew in primary for the last 3 weeks now. It will soon be ready to package.

Who's taking my name in vain? Make another extra bitter brew and double the hops for flavour and aroma and blend the two brews after they finish fermenting

If you bottled it 3 weeks ago, let it age (lager) for a while. Most of the off odors should weaken.

And if that is a plastic cube you are fermenting in, I would make sure it was really clean before using it again. If you get another infection in that cube, toss it.

Pick up the keg from him, rack to it and purge with CO2. Then you have less to worry about regarding O2 pick up.
