Thanks for the tips. I gave it 11 days in the FV. I will leave the bottles for 2 weeks hot and 2 weeks cold. I'm getting thirsty thinking about it though :cheers: Thinking I may try this again with lager yeast to see the difference. Thanks JP

Thanks. It is coopers I used with brew enhancer 2. I was advised 1 week in the FV, 1 week warm and 1 week cold. It was also beer yeast I got with the kit.

Hi I am now on my third brew and my first Mexican cerveza. I put this in the FV on Tuesday and right now it is looking very yellow Is that normal? I done everything the DVD told me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks JP

So after 2 weeks in the FV and bottled for 2 weeks I have tried my first bottle of this and I am delighted. It is so good. I was worried this was in the FV for too long as it got a wee bit cloudy but it is brilliant and would recommend it to everyone!!

My lager was in the FV for 2 weeks and when bottling it looked very cloudy but tasted fine. Is that normal? Also is there a limit on how long the lager should be in the FV? Thanks JP

So just checked my lager and the gravity is at 1012 the OG was 1037 so coming on nice. That has been 6 days in the FV. There is till a bit of an egg smell kicking about though. When should I think about bottling this? Also there is a very thin layer of foam on at the top of the lager...

Haha is just got in from work had to open the windows just as we'll I got in first today. Managed to get it between 18-20 by using ice pack I have. Will test it on Friday and Saturday to see the FG

Wish I looked at this a few days ago. I put this in the fv on Saturday it's currently sitting at 22 strong stench of egg kicking about when I got in from work. The OG was 1037. I'm really looking forward to this even though I may have messed it up.

I'll give it a bash with the 1. Aye that was the 1 thought it was very nice but the head disappeared quite fast. I needed up drinking them in half pints. I added water to my FV last night to see what temperature it would be at this morning and it was 22 degrees. You said you brewed it when it...

I've just sterilised my kit so ready to start brewing tomorrow. I used 2 carbonation drops per bottle in my first kit which was coopers lager. Is that a bit excessive for this kit? The wilko one you suggested was sold out hence the reason I'm trying this on. Cheers JP

Thanks very much, O thought that but wanted to make sure before doing it. Thanks JP

Hi I am about to start brewing my second ever beer. I have Coopers European Lager and coopers brew enhancer 2. I read the instructions and they advised not to use much "simple sugar" as the yeast will ferment more thoroughly causing the beer to lack in body. Does this mean don't use all...

Thanks Chris. I will definitely give this a try. Read some reviews and people seem to like it. I'm really looking forward to making my second batch now. JP

Hi I am JP and live in Scotland. I have just finished my first coopers lager homebrew and found it quite nice. I would like to try and brew something that is more like lager (preferebly close to Gambrinus or Staropramen). I would be happy to hear any tips for brewing. Thanks JP
