After a successful ferment at cooler temps with an EDME lager I really pushed the boat out with my next brew.
I got a liquid yeast for Christmas so decided to use it with a Coopers Pilsner and instead of the usual brew enhancer I bought a tin of malt extract.
The yeast was a Czech Pils WYeast which is a weird 'smack pack' - there's a little nutrient parcel inside which you locate and give a clout :P
This kick starts the yeast and the packet swells indicating the yeast is working - cut off the top and pour into your wort. It smells disgusting, like stale sick!
Thomas Coopers Pilsner 1.7kg
Coopers light malt extract 1.5kg
WYeast Czech Pils
OG 1042
FG 1012
ABV 4.5% bottled
Price per bottle - 80p
This worked out the highest price per bottle I've done so this had to be good to justify the expensive ingredients.
The finished drink is very very smooth and after only 2 weeks the sediment doesn't move from the bottom of the bottle.
