Except when you open them perhaps?

Good for you. That make at least two of us then. athumb..

Let the yeast work on the sugar to carb your beer. Save your bulbs until later. Remember to test the pressure after three or four days in the warm. If its still flat your PB is likely to be leaking from somewhere

Ashbeck and Elmhurst both available on the Tesco website, but no ultra cheap water since Elmhurst now costs about twice as much as its predecessor Stockwell Chase Spring water, and is similarly priced to Ashbeck. Perhaps Tesco are going to phase out Ashbeck after all. And irrespective of whether...

I think you bought the wrong water. Ashbeck is still available if you look at the Tesco website. 'Elmhurt' water used to 'Stockwell Chase Spring' water and before that Tesco cheap 17p a 2 litre bottle water but it all comes from the same source which is as far as I am aware is a deep well owned...

So a crash cool period ahead of bottling adds perhaps a day onto the overall carbing period, whilst things warm up before the yeast gets going again. But in the overall cycle, is that important? Whats the rush?

You certainly won't stir up any hornest's nest. If you have read and perhaps then believe that a crash cool/cold crash period at the end of the fermentation period offers little value in terms of dropping the yeast that's fine, but do compare your results with and without. I usually try new...

For when? Think mid Jan earliest with conditioning, assuming fining it doesn't strip out most of the yeast.

Since end Feb I haven't been in a supermarket, or pub, or offy. So if its not on Tesco or Waitrose click and collect or home delivery I'm stuffed :laugh8:

Apparently still available. https://shop.fullersbrewery.co.uk/products/bengal-lancer

@Justin Dean On a completely different subject are you aiming to win the longest, most informative forum signature award? :laugh8:

Yes.

So much for Worthington White Shield, Fullers Bengal Lancer, and Shepheard Neame IPA :laugh8:

I wanted to try them but our Tesco click and collect bounced them this week. asad1

Two cheapish alternatives to consider You can brew a 'pseudo lager' using Wilko Ale yeast (alias GV12 or Nottingham) if you ferment at the lower end of its range , say 16-17*C, which should give the clean taste of a lager. Or use a Kolsch type lager yeast at room temperature. Crossmyloof will...

Usually nowt wrong with Coopers kits and the yeast supplied provided you know what to do with them.

First, in my view, there is not a lot of point in spending good money on an expensive yeast to try to elevate the quality of a cheap lager kit. Better spend the money on a better lager kit and use the kit yeast. And that applies to any kit. Next kit yeast supplied with most lager kits are ale...
