Do you lager in the bottle/keg or in the fermenter?

In the bottle, condition at 18c or so for 2 weeks then out in the shed.

Same as me thanks

Same as me thanks

How long do you keep in the shed before drinking is the real question though.

I brewed a user upper lager with some left over ingredients and plenty of saaz, initially way over bitter and not great, a year later it's bleddy handsome, though the rusty caps don't do it any favours!

I’m going to give 4 weeks before I try the first bottle but obviously I won’t drink them all in Feb so most will get at least 8 weeks.

Plan is for a British Golden Ale tomorrow, an early start as will get the mash on before the kids finally get back to school (yay).

4.5kg Pale Ale
500g Pilsner
500g Wheat

Hops will be Admiral or Challenger to bitter approx 20g @60

Boadicea 25g @10
Boudicea 25g @flame out
Boudicea 50g dry hop.

CML 5

IBU 30 ish and should end up around 5% maybe slightly more.

Slight tweak, weather was appalling this morning and I did not fancy standing around with it, so mashed inside till the weather improved a bit and changed the recipe to a 30 min boil. Also found Admiral first so used that to bitter.

28g Admiral @30
25g Boudica @10
25g Boudica @flame out.

OG slightly under predicted, 1048 perhaps slightly oversparged forgetting that I wasn't boiling for an hour.
