KO Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Made my first brew using Coopers Bavarian Lager. Became dissapointed with the taste :cry: , or lack thereof, a week after secondary fermentation. Put it all into my sister-in-laws old fridge and didn't touch it for two months. Opened a bottle today and to my great suprise :o , it was superb. It wasn't perfect, but despite it being brewed @ 25 degrees, it does tastes like a true lager and it was suprisingly clear. I never expected it to taste this good. Next time I'll ferment the Bavarian Lager @ 16-20 degrees, use Coopers 1.5kg Light Malt Extract, add some finishing hops for aroma (Hallertau or Hersbrucker) and I think I'll have a spectacular lager with not too much effort. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Great to hear that your brew came good. Lagers benefit immensely from conditioning time. It is for this reason that I harped on in the latest newsletter about brewing Lagers now for summer drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
