DavidP17 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I want to put a brew down tomorrow using a lager yeast any recommended recipes you guys have made? Was thinking along the lines of pilsners/lagers/cervezas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Maximus Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cannot work up any enthusiasum for lagers anymore. Perhaps I have become a hophead. It is not only me I am sure as if you go to websites like the Beeradvocate or Ratebeer you will find that the top lager is lucky to average 3/5 while the there are hundreds of ales rating above 4.5/5 ? Are you brewing with grain? All grain/part grain/extract. Or are you just doing kits only? I just received the latest BREW magazine from the US and it has quite a few All grain and part grain/extract clone LAGER recipes featured in it.

jasond4 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 G'day Dave, I'm currently at this very moment drinking a lager I put together using the newly available Briess Munich liquid malt extract. And can I tell you what a difference this malt makes to the flavour of any style of lager you are trying to brew. Maybe not cerveza but a Vienna style definitely. The only great style of beer the world has forgotten but the Mexicans have kept alive for the beer lover to find on their worldly travels. Only wish that Coopers made Munich style malt extract so I could buy Australian made rather than USA made. 1. Coopers Canadian blonde 2. Coopers BE2 3. 750gms Briess Munich liquid Malt 4. 28gms Southern Hallertau 10min steep with the Briess MLM in 3L of boiled water. 5. 15gms European yeast [happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The Thomas Coopers Pilsener is supposed to be good. I haven't tried it but have heard good things about it. You could try this one: Pilsener Maybe add some additional Saaz for flavour & aroma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien E1 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The Thomas Coopers Pilsener is supposed to be good. I haven't tried it but have heard good things about it. You could try this one: Pilsener Maybe add some additional Saaz for flavour & aroma. I just about murdered one of them for my second brew, and it still came out tasting great. Instead of boiling the 25 grams of saaz I got in just malt and water, I chucked the whole can of pilsner in as well.[pinched] Still came out magnificent though.
