Tricky Micky Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Using what I have left over in the cupboard for a recipe for the next brew. Wondering if this will be okay. Coopers Larger 1.7kg I have BE 3 and BE 1 + 200grams of LDME US-05 yeast and about 70 grams of POR pellets. Could I steep a little of the POR or would it end up being too hoppy? I've gone with: Coopers 1.7kg BE 3 US-05 yeast 200grams LDME Edited September 22, 2020 by Mickep add text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Steeping and adding the POR on brew day won't make it too hoppy. It'll add to the bitterness and IMO makes a welcome addition to the LAGER, LAGER, LAGER tin. I've used about 20g steeped for around 30 minutes to the LAGER and found it a subtle improvement on no hops. Dry hopping near ferment end will add the hoppy flavours and aromas but I've never bothered with dry hopping yet, as I tend to take baby steps advances with my brewing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 @Mickep what you now have is conflicting opinions on whether to use the POR or not from @King Ruddagerand myself. So the only way to sort this dilemma is to experiment and you'll soon work out what you prefer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LARGER effects of Stage 4 Covid restrictions in Metro Melbourne have strange ways of manifesting themselves. Sorry Muzzy, unintentional. Won't happen again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that would be a fair fight because your moniker suggests you might have access to jousting sticks that I don't and I have seen your savage hound in videos. What about Roman-Greco wrestling bouts? I could use my distinct weight advantage and even if I lost it would still be kinky kind of fun.

Now ,some nice deep breaths, perhaps a little lie down, and you could be forgiven for approaching the beer fridge a little earlier than usual today. I just might join you, Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon that'd be okay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just might join you, Cheers! See... a while ago I was a bit concerned about old age and that maybe my creativity was fading. Then I found home brew and discovered an amazing new depth of creativty to NOT having nights off of drinking beer AND justifying the slightly rotund figure I have become.

KR sometimes dog sits, has two fierce, wild haired and fearless kids and QR, who has not returned to a second brew day.

Malter White Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 @Mickep I just looked back on my brewing notes and I finished drinking an OS Lager a few weeks ago. Very similar to the recipe you have planned out except I didn't add LDME and I used different yeast. It was very drinkable. Yours will probably be even better. I used: 1.7kg OS Lager 1 x BE3 Yeast salvaged from a previous European Lager 25g POR steeped for 30 mins Fermented at 15C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to scrape and scrounge and got myself an old fridge for nothing, bought the heat belt and Inkbird so I should be able to keep the lager in the right zone from now on. Thanks for your help mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
