About to make it my first brewo Young harvest lager. The instructions say to mix 1kg bag of sugar into hot water. Later on it says to add half a teaspoon of sugar into the bottles. Is this the first type of sugar I used initially meaning I should get 2 bags? How can you measure half a...

Hi There I've just may have messed up my lager. During the boil phase I forgot the Irish moss. So what is now best, cold crash the lager after fermentation and put the Gelatine in the primary, or add the Gelatine to the keg? Please advise

I got about 5 weeks to get a brew ready and was hoping to do a blonde ale or something refreshing like a lager. I have temp control and was going to do BIAB or mini mash. Any recipes or pointers for something like this would be greatly appreciated! I do intend to brew lagers eventually but I...

Well guys Lagering my All grain Helle Export Lager in the deep freeze with temperature control. The worry I have is the head space and oxygen coming in contact with the lager for a long period during the lagering phase. The lager had a warm rest phase for DMS. Should I worry?? M ps. The tube...

Hey guys I was just wondering is instead of lagering in a carboy just put the beer right away into a keg to lager. And a month or two later just hook up the gas and Carb?

Hey all, Hope this is an acceptable place to put this topic. Just looking for some advice. I'm trying to replicate the Kopparberg Lemon and Lime lager. The other half loves it and admittedly it's a nice summer drink. Anyway, I tried adapting a Lager Kit from LoveBrewing. All seemed to go well...

Hi all! I've previously made one batch of beer (and one only) and had to stop because of a few personal issues. So I don't really have any experience in brewing my own beer and I am just now getting re-familiarized with the terms, the process, etc! Now, I'm back in business and very keen on...

Hello, Thanks for accepting me to your forum. Seen some great advice posted. I’ve been a lager drinker for a while, I tend to like the European lagers like a Staropramen. So, I had an idea to get a kit and have a go at making my own. I live north Birmingham so went to the Hamstead Home...

Brewed a dortmunder export recipe a few months ago. The taste was fine from the fermenter but since it was bottled a strong cider/green apple taste sprung up. Any ideas how to prevent this in the future or how to remedy it. Used two packs of Bohemian lager yeast by the way.
