GingerNuts81 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 So I am thinking of doing a twist on the LIGHT GERMAN BOCK Was thinking in a 10L brew using 1x Coopers Lager 1x LDM Cold steeping 200g of Crystal Malt (I have some needing to be used, actually have about 800g) So do you guys think this will at least be drinkable? And what yeast could I use? TIN yeast should still be ok, but happy to buy a specialty one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hey @GingerNuts81 I reckon it would be okay. The Thomas Coopers Golden Crown Lager comes with a true lager yeast. If you can control your fermentation to 12-15°C, I suggest you grab a lager yeast. Saflager W-34/70 would do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC1525230181 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Since this 'light german bock' recipe was 2x tins of extract and 2x LDM and I had one craft fermenter I did one tin and one lot of LDM in a half volume. I can't report yet because the bottles have a few more days to go before 2 weeks are up. Our bathroom was cool enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab the good yeast (because the OS Lager actually comes with an ale yeast) and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In accordance with the Bock style it was malty and not hoppy. I think I prefer more hops aroma so it wasn't my favourite but certainly interesting to try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably brew it as an ale though, at higher temps and ale yeast. I'm a little over lagers atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
