hi guys, just about to order online my first set of grains and hops for some biab. im a lager drinker so i think ive got a pretty good list of what im getting, but i wanna run it by the forum for any suggestions on other hops or grains that will make good lager.
here is the list im getting: munich malt, lager malt, vienna malt, carapils malt, carahell malt, pilsner malt.
all are 500 grams except the lager malt which is 3 kilos. im only gonna make ine gallon batches so this should be plenty using the lager malt as the main grain.
the hops are:hallertauer hersbrucker,saaz, northern brewer and tettnang.
any good conbinations of the above or any additions anyone can reccomend would be great, cheers guys
 
I think non European Hops like Motueka, Mount Hood, Crystal, Sterling and Wakatu would be good in a lager. They were bred from German hops so are similar but with a twist.
 
Remember; you need strict temperature control if using a lager yeast, however you can cheat and use a clean fermenting ale yeast like Safale S05.

Lager yeast fermented above about 14C will produce very noticeable off flavours.
