Hi everyone

[AlunsAle]

I'm Alun from South Wales and new to this. I started home brewing last year with some good and some not so good results. The two beers I did ,a Geordie Mild and a John Bull IPA were just great but my lagers were up and down so I decided I need some help, so here I am.

Welcome to the Forum. :thumb:

The two recommendations that cure most lager problems are "Take your time." and "Have patience." :lol:

Welcome,

Lager kits unless fermented with a true lager yeast and good temp control are really only going to be a light ale type brew. The first few I did, whilst drinkable are nothing like the lagers I have done within a brew fridge and proper yeast. Oh and like Dutto says a whole heap of time and patience.:thumb:

I second this...
Getting my ferm fridges and knowing the temps etc is the difference when the lads say (sorry for the Geordie!) "aye the first lagers were alreet! But your grolsch clone is emazing pal!"
Chuffed ta bits with the lagers and the beers so far.
