Hairy Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Is it just me or whenever you see this post do you start singing? “Highway to the Lager Mode Gonna take you right into the Lager Mode” I have a feeling it is only me. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) 13 hours ago, Otto Von Blotto said: Sounds like a barleywinelager captain! Soft water can smooth things out as well. The pilsners I brew are bittered to about 43-45 IBU but they don't taste like it. Very balanced and smooth. The yeast would have some influence of course, but in that style at least it's the water that has the majority of the smoothing effect. Going to Dan's tomorrow, hopefully they have a carton of Urquell, I haven't had that beer for a while. Yeah very similar to a barleywine Otto. I was thinking the same thing about the water, probably get a load of rainwater for that one, filtered and sterilised of course. For the darker malts I’d probably cold steep too to keep that harshness out of it. Anyway it’s only a thought at the moment captain Edited June 16, 2018 by The Captain1525230099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 It’s happened again. Three batches in now, and room for one more. I’ve made a Pilsner, an American Lager (don’t ask) and an Oktoberfest. I sometimes make a dark lager but don’t really feel like it this time. Any other suggestions?

I have been making all manner of beers lately but made a Pilsner a couple of weeks ago and thought, why bother with the other stuff this is brilliant. Pilsner is beer at its finest a great balance of grain and hop. Edited July 26, 2020 by MartyG1525230263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristinaS1 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Fridge space isn't an issue when you ferment under pressure. It is possible to ferment under pressure and bottle. Just open the spunding valve up wide during the D-rest and let all of the pressure come out of the the keg / Fermentasaurus. But if you are bottling, you still have to lager the bottles at cold temps after carbonation. Cheers, Christina.

King Ruddager Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 C'mon folks ... what sort of lager should I be making this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleStavvy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The fresh draught from the spreadsheet with an extra dry hop has turned out really nice. I'll have to make more for summer for sure. I'm on my second batch of Mister Sinister/ Southwark Old Stout, that's done with a lager yeast....give that a whirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Nah I want to make a big all-grain batch Bock perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a Vienna lager not so long ago bittered with Northern brewer 21 IBU and 15g of Motueka and 50g Saaz at 15 minutes and it was a treat to drink. W34/70 @ 15psi and 24c.

King Ruddager Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Maybe next year I should think ahead and explore bocks or something. I just hope that future me remembers to dig up this thread again and reads this before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
