Cheers. Yeah, nar, Classic. I think you have something against lagers. At the risk of copping abuse from the lager/pilsner purists, I usually start drinking my lagers around 2 weeks. See my posts about the Coopers Australian Lager. It has only been in the bottle 20 days. Maybe they get better with age, but I do not care. Get into it I say. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now with the likes of Novalager I just tasted mine in the keg for 7 days it's really good it's going to be spot on after a couple of weeks in the keg I will definitely be brewing a couple of more lagers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sample taste exactly like Crown Lager, very promising. It probably wont see a week in the keg before I dig in. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Nothing wrong with a good Lager, ‘cause it tastes like beer. This one here is a good one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw it in a can. But I agree, the artwork is great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been known to start drinking lagers at 2 weeks in the keg. But for some lagers, I do seem to have the patience to give them the time they need. A Pilsner or Helles usually always gets the time it needs. Rice lagers too. These beers just get better over time. Having said that, I do sample lagers at least once a week to see how they progress. I am not THAT patient 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume boiled or cereal mash first. What does your recipe actually say the rice component is, flaked, rolled etc.?

Brauhaus Fritz Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 After drinking mainly Lagers the last fortnight I refrain from judging it. At least for $12 a six pack it was a bargain. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I am starting to get to like the Coopers Lager, it is nice & clean, good flavours. It probably also helps they are on special at BWS for $15 x 6 pack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
