Coopers European Lager

[kermettfrog]

Hi all, I have european lager kegged for the last 3 weeks, so five weeks gone in total. Sampled one of the bottles made with leftover from FV. Tasted unbelieveable. Thing is, when mixing hte ingredients i added both the brew enhancer and the sugar. It was only after i realised it should be one or the other?

will this do any damage to the brew? Judging by last nights taste its pretty dam good.

With seven more weeks to go, it is going to be a long wait.

FInally, i two more kits ready to go. Canadian blonde and Mexican Cerveza. What would you recomend?

You mean 1Kg of sugar AND 1Kg of brew enhancer? It'll make for a stronger beer, but less flavour.

I've made both the canadian and the cerveza, both very good. I'd go for the Cerveza as it'll make some nice summer drink just in time. The Canadian is quicker to mature than the Cerveza so if you're in a hurry, go for the canadian

I have the European Lager conditioning. It's been in bottles for 4 weeks, so another 8 to go :?

I am yet to receive an aswer as to what difference in flavour the lager yeast used in the european lager comapred to using a standard beer yeast (as used in the Canadian Blonde).

Last night, after much trouble, i racked Muntons Premioum Gold Smugglers Special and set away Coopers Canadian Blonde. If you set yours away then we shoudl have our brews ready at a similar time and could compare notes!

I'm new to this game - Canadian Blonde will be my 4th kit, but I've only actually drank the proceeds fromk my first kit. The 2nd and 3rd (mentioned above) are still conditioning.

Ok so i have used a kg of sugar and kg of brew enhancer. as far as flavour goes, theres plenty of it. This is the first time i have tried the European lager so i have no benchmark as far as taste is concerned. excited though

I havent got around to putting hte canadian blonde on yet. hoping to tonight. my problem is, i have only two corny kegs. One currently has the european in, the second empty will soon have coopers dark ale, leaving me with the question, what will i do with the canadian when ready to keg? i guess i could move it to a second FV and leave until ready to keg? Or get another Corny. Those things def do breed.
