I am having a party soon :drink: and one of the guys coming only drinks Carlsberg (pi*s) :evil: I was thinking of doing a coopers european larger (just for him) )
I thought I would change the yeast and dry hop what do you think guys???any advice

FYI - The yeast with the Coopers European lager is genuine lager yeast.

I did mine about 6-7 weeks ago. Had one bottle after 4-5 weeks (can't remember exactly) and it was really nice, no sulphurous smell at all. Had another bottle a week or so later and that didn't taste very good, was really dry, without much flavour. No sulphurous smell though. Going to keep them for another couple of weeks before i start getting stuck into them.

you might get away with coopers aussie lager (taste will be not far off, but it more like Fosters with the chemically tinny watery taste removed if that makes any sense) which doesn't seem to use a lager yeast - your looking at 10 days in FV, a week in bottle and week in fridge. I would say absolute min of 3 weeks, ideally six.
