Well yesterday I turned 36 and my mum and Dad kindly got me some brewing supplies.. obvioulsy this goes back to something I used to drink as a kid but they got me.. wait for it... some ingredients to clone stella!! however the recipe is from the 80s What I actually have is loads of lager or pilsner grain saaz hops hallertau hops and some safale S23 yeast x2.
So with that in mind there is no reason why I cannot get a decent beer out of this except I want to try and cheat a little.
1) I only have a brew bag but getting 15úc should be achievable with enough bottles in circulation
2) I do not really want to tie up fermentaion for that long..
So using the quick lager method I was thinking of
1) fermenting around 5-7 days @ 15ish degrees (maybe lower) then remove the bottles until ambient temp for about a week..
2) I got some gelatin.. do I even need this?? add that if required. then try and fridge it for another week.. (if I can get the fridge space)
3) Bottle it, carb it and then stick the bottles in the fridge for a few weeks..
I am not doing this just yet but does this or this method seem sound enough??
