I am certain you will notice a difference, keep us posted. Cheers. Yeah Classic I tasted the Woolager Plus which included 1kg Saunders LME and 250gm Dextrose and 250gm Maltodextrin and Woolies Lager 1.7kg. It is is early for a true valuation as only been 3 weeks in the bottle. Also, the Woolager Malteaser included 1.7kg lager, 250gm dextrose and 1kg DME. It has only been in bottle 12 days so yet to give a true verdict on it as well. Patients lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Fair Enough, the waiting is always the worst part but if you are patient it pays off. I have got a couple of new additions in the fridge that have been in the bottle for 4 weeks, so tonight is the night. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always words of wisdom @Graubart I love the swingtop bottles, I have about 100 Grolsch 450ml & a few of the older ones 500ml but I really would like to get my hands on some of the Litre + bottles that I have seen, however I get your point/hint on the SS fermenter etc. It will come my way, I am working on it.

It's more the SS Corny Keg for Store Pressurize Carbonation and Pour I think is a big help... as bottling is quite a job - though delivers great results.

Hey stickers, looks like a beauty there. I’ve been looking at that recipe as I had a scotch ale from Uncle Dan’s and it was delicious! It seemed like a lot of sugar (500g) and was wondering how that would impact the beer… Interested to see how it turns out for you. Keep us updated please!! Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you zoom right in you will see the Graubster has some black tape there, I am sure the old Pirate has things under control or as you say go for an eye check-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway at least one can see that the Big Black Brew is fermenting at least haha? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) The Carlsberg Pilsner has gone AWOL. No fermentation action after 39 hours from pitch so threw another smack pack of WLP850 yeast at it this morning. There was no condensation on top of FV and no sign of life so fizzed it up the whisker and in went another pack. First time I have used this yeast so unsure how long it takes to kick off and look like its happy. Did it this way to see what this strain behaved like but as the smack packs were nearly exactly 1 month before use before date just starting to get a bit worried how they were stored at the suppliers / importer. Sort of regret not making a starter for this batch now. Anyone used WLP850 and can comment on lag times etc.? The Leigh's Lager I pitched a day later (yesterday at 17:30) with some 200 ml of reclaimed Diamond Lager yeast is already off and running. In fact it is so horny it has fogged up the glass doors of my little brew fridge. Edited June 22, 2021 by iBooz2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have invented BE4. I hope you are using more than the kit yeast with that amount of fermentables? How many grams of yeast come with those Woolies cans? A lot of kits only come with 6g. Could be why your brews are sweet. Maybe they are under attenuated? Or did you use another / more yeast? Cheers, Christina.

Looks like a pretty solid recipe Christina. I’ve never tried Vienna malt, is it similar to Munich? Maybe I should do a Vienna lager to find out!! I’m in Oz and I pay $7.95 AUD for 100g Galaxy hops which seems pretty good to me. Being an Australian hop it makes sense it would be cheaper here. How much do they cost over in Canada ? We might need to send you an emergency care package if you end up loving them! Happy brewing to you. Cheers TB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tone boy. $7.95 AUD for 100g? I wish! Galaxy are $3.79/ oz (28g) CAD at my LHBS. At today's exchange rate that is $4.07/28g. Vienna is malty but less sweet than Munich. I find it really helpful in adding depth to kits. It does need to be mashed though, if you buy it as a grain. Briess make a liquid malt version, if you can get it. Happy brewing TB.
