Coopers European Lager with a big dry hop is nice but takes a long time.
Im drinking a Coopers Heritage Lager with 70g of Mosaic hops and its super but someone mentioned this kit is now obsolete?
Do you have temp control?

Muntons Gold Lager replace the kit yeast with Saflager 23 and ferment at 12 degrees

The answer might depend on whether you're after a true lager (which uses low temp fermenting lager yeast), or just a "lager" kit which is technically an ale but tastes like a lager.

if you get muntons cerveza kit and properly leave it for several months, you will get something very similar to coors light.

True lager I'm after 😉

then youll need some sort of temp control. ie a fridge,

When I do lager kits, I tend to brew cool and leave in the primary for longer. I then bottle and stick in the fridge, where it tends to do its lagering there. takes a couple of months tho for results and does get much better with age.

Some of the kits (cant remember which tho) do use a lager yeast - at least that is what it said on the instructions.

12 degrees sounds low compared to other kits

Are all lager kits fermented at low temperature or do u need to replace the yeast for all??
