Thought this was an interesting read and has some lagers and styles never tried. 13 Serious Beer Experts Name Their Favorite Lagers For Late-Summer

Once a month, or when needed. Only have 2 kegs at the moment, and stock of bottles is good so holding off until I have space. Would like to do more as I like doing a brewday, but space and waistline restrict this 😄

Music. Listening and playing, mainly indie rock. Was supposed to be at Kendal calling last week, gutted can't go to gigs or festivals at minute. Started playing guitar a bit more in lockdown as well. Kids take up a lot of my time as well. Want to take up paddle boarding

17 litres Wunder Lager clone 17261

Ah man. I still get my kids to do that now, really reminded me of my childhood Christmases.

Kegged the Wunder Lager clone on Thursday after 3 days at raised temp (18c), 3 days dry hop, and 2 days cold crash. Had a tester of this yesterday, lovely 'clean' mouth feel with the fruity/citrus hops coming through beautifully. No signs of off flavours so temp rise worked I assume. Not going...

Soooooo jealous of all you with a 'safe space' :laugh8: It remains a dream.

Cheers. Think I'll increase to 18-20c and dry hop at that temp for 3 days before cold crash for a couple of days.

Just took a reading and has dropped to 1.008 which is a decent bit lower than the 1.013 (now coming out at 5.25.%). Not looked at it or touched it since brewing 11 days ago and was greeted by this. I think it looks like floating leftover **** from the Krausen but wanted to see if anyone could...

Love having cornys, so much easier than bottling and I find the quality of the poured beer is much better (maybe I was doing something wrong bottling but always had leftover cr@p in bottom of bottle). They are breeding fast though!!!

Thought I'd start up a thread to track my thoughts and ideas on brew day. Yesterday brewed what turned out to be my 22nd AG brew which surprised me a little considering had about 6 months not brewing last year. Anyway, yesterday did a clone of Wunder Lager by Brussels Beer project after...
