Newbie kit brewer
Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a man garage brewing cave thing at the moment and not far off creating my first brew. After much reading and opinions, I decided to try kit brewing first off. My tastes are Lager, Pilsner and Wheat beers generally. The odd porter (Sainsburys taste the difference one is brill) and IPA's are nice.
I've got all the equipment ready (most of it salvaged from an old kitchen at work - brew fridge/temperature controller hand made:grin:) and grabbed some kits from Tesco to start with.
So what are you thoughts:wha: on my first brew:
Cooopers European lager
Coopers BE2
Saflager s-23 (1 pack) - rehydrated in 110ml of warm previously boiled water for 10 minutes, then add to Wort.
Temperature at about 13-15 C - maybe wait 2-3 weeks?
Bottle using 2 carb drops per 500ml glass bottle box up the bottles and leave for 2 months minimum.
I have a lot of weight on shoulder because the guys at work all want samples!
