welcome mate kits are so good to start with but some of the cheap one can be a bit doge so look for a good middle of the range one and don't rush them and you can get some very good beer from them :thumb:

Surely that's a l*rger drinker?

 

[graysalchemy]

No just a L*ger drinker

I have learnt how to spell, just can't bring my self to say the word out load though :lol: :lol:

If you like Carling, then go for one of the Coopers hits, either the Coopers Canadian Blonde or the Coopers Australian Lager. They are both a light crisp lager with a bit more flavour than Carling.

I didn't think you could use the words flavour and l*ger in the same sentence. :lol: :lol:

Now, when it comes to the megafactory l*(r)ger 5H173 I couldn't agree more...

...but I happen to know that some exceptional lager, "no sweary word" lager is brewed mere miles from me. We are talking bottles (resusable and just the right height for milk crates) of 3.8%, crisp, chamapgne-fizzy (you know, the expensive stuff with the tight little bubbles that aren't like lemonade bubbles), flavoursome interesting, properly brewed, cared for and lagered lager.

I'm prepared to bet that even you, GA, would drink one and extole its virtues! Seriously... it's that good.

Assuming I'm allowed to plug a commercial brewery: http://www.cotswoldlager.com. It's their "3.8" that I love, their premium is good too and I haven't worked my way round the rest yet...



Back to the OP though: If you genuinely are a "C*rling and nowt else" kind of chap then homebrew, even from kits, will come as a bit of a shock. There is a whole load more flavour in there than you're used to!

+1 though for the Coopers kits, haven't done one of their lagers but the ales and stouts I've done were good and others are complimentary about the lagers.

First ever kit Younges Brew Buddy 40 pint lager. due 12-5.12

Just don't let that Brew Buddy kit :sick: put you off brewing your own

I am not adversed to a proper lager but lager does require lagering something that fizzy pop factories don't do.

 

[calumscott]

Indeed! Which is why when I tried this stuff I was properly blown away. It ain't cheap though...

I guess we all have a "Someday I'm going to brew..." list, and a lager of this sort of quality is most definitely on mine. But then that's once we're in the new house (moving along nicely, fingers still crossed), fully AG'd up, practised, fermenting/lagering fridge in place etc etc etc...

...Hmmmm, perhaps I need to go and get a couple of bottles just to see me through... could do with the empties... :hmm: :whistle:
