Hi there. Not really sure if I'm peeing into the wind here but I'm having a party on July 11th and wondered if I might just have enough time to get a lager ready to drink by then. If so, any suggestions? Nothing too clever is needed, just a standard fosters type job will suffice.
Need a quick lager kit

I don't think there is a homebrewkit that can produce anything as bad as fosters
.But in all seriousness from the sounds of it you're not shooting for premium so I would say given the time and the fact it is the summer months you may be better just going with something liek a wilkos or coopers cerveza?

Even the coopers original series Lager, uses an ale yeast, brews pretty quick and doesn't need 3 months in the bottle like the Euro lager kit.

Started a strawberry lager using Wilko cerveza on24/5 been in the bottle 4 days now.
+1 except make it up with a hop tea of 30g Hallertau plus 15g Hallertau dry hop. I did this as an emergency lager last summer during the hot weather and it was amazing, actually I'd say it was better than the Coopers European.

Add a hop tea to this and bump up the ABV if you're that way inclined (250g honey is nice) and you'll get a really nice, light, hoppy, fizzy ale that's drinkable very quickly

Thanks for the advice..... Went to my LHBS and found the coopers cerveza. Should do the trick, I already have a cider waiting to be bottled so I'll crack on tomoro and, weather permitting, the party/bbq will be a sozzled affair. Ur all invited [emoji3]
Should be OK - just over 5 weeks to the BBQ, so suggest 2 wks in FV, 10 days to carbonate in the warm and the rest in the coolest place - garage?
