lager

Just wondering if it has been done, results, and opinions on using ale yeast, that tolerate higher temps, in a recipe that was made for a Munich Dunkel? I have ordered some new "interesting" yeast yesterday, a Norwegian Kveik. Has attibutes of both lager and ale yeasts, sort of multi...

I've recently purchased the Coopers Lager kit (https://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Coopers_40_pint_Lager_Beer_Kit.html), which comes with Brew Enhancer 1. I've also purchased a Copers Bootmaker Pale Ale kit...

Starting the preliminary research phase of trying to make something along the lines of Capital Brewery's (Middleton, WI) Winter Skål. This article is the closest thing I've found, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience giving this one a shot. Specifically, the grainbill and yeast...

I'm just about ready to brew my fifth batch of beer and need a little advice from some experienced brewers. My last batch was a cream ale partial mash that I really enjoyed. Next I would like to try something roughly along the lines of a Stella Artois clone, however I don't have the...

I am a new brewer and decided to jump all in. I added 2 prehopped cans of Pils & 1 cup of dex to grow on for 5gal batch. I racked to primary this morning with a plan of having it there for 1 week then into the secondary for 4 to 5. I just got a call from work and i am to leave for Georgia...

I only have experience with quick fermenting ales, mainly because I'm worried about the ambient temperature of my brewing facilities. I've recently moved, and have access to a basement with much cooler temperatures and was wondering how cool i would need to keep a batch for extended lagering of...

Being March and all, it seems appropriate to brew an Oktoberfest to lager soon. I'm shooting for the more golden-colored O-fest one might encounter at a beer tent in Germany during the actual fest (as opposed to the darker amber-colored O-fests exported to the US). Here is the recipe I've come...

This is my first lager. I used 6.6lbs Coopers light, 1.5oz Saaz, Irish moss, boil 55min., 1.0oz. Cascades finish for 3 min, WLP840 lager yeast in 6gal. carboy. Pitched the yeast at 68F, brought temp down to 65F 2nd day. Plan on taking carboy into 48-50F basement on day 4 or so and leave it for a...
