I'm going to have a sore arm after bottling..

Sadly, they're all extract or festa kits, but i'm learning alot about the diferent lager options I have.

Nice work, are all four of those lagers?

What's the orange one?

 

[jmartyg]

the orange one is the only one i've followed the instructions on. Morgan's Canadian Pilsner. A no boil kit. I racked it today from a bucket and was wondering myself why it matches the rest of the old bar.
L-R
-Festa Dry w/ 250G light DME to raise it to 1.040
-Morgan's Canadian Pilsner w/ 1K corn sugar
-Morgans Canadian Lager w/ can of Muntons brewer's syrup instead of dme or sugar (it's been sitting at 1.024 for 2 weeks now, dont think it turned out the way i wanted.)
-Festa Continental Pilsner with harvested s-23 yeast instead of the dry pack of s-23 so it should have more cell count.

What's the temp in there?

 

[jmartyg]

15 on a warm warm day. I know its past the upper end, but i havent had bad off flavours yet, and the temperature is only getting colder.

I had to look at that 3 times before I realized you were in Canada!

Then I had to try and convert in my head

And just to save anyone else the mental pain, 59 Fahrenheit.

Mike,
I'm in Stratford. I'd like to take you up on that offerr after the winter. I can only learn so much by reading how to do all grain. It would be great to learn.

Sadly, they're all extract or festa kits, but i'm learning alot about the diferent lager options I have.

Those aren't the kits you pick up in the shops for around $35, are they? Just pour it in a bucket, add yeast and away you go? I bought one when I was on the Island during one my visits there. Sadly, it turned out to be undrinkable.

BTW, you folks are lucky to have Gahan's 1772 India Pale Ale available. Very, very fine beer.

Cheers,

Paul

 

[stoutman]

thier coles cream ale is excellent too.

 

[5gBrewer]

That's a nice color for the pilsner from an extract kit. It should clear up even more with time.

Is that velvet wall paper on the bar! AWESOME!! it complements the Pilsner nicely!!
