    Too Much Yeast Deposit Problem

    Hi there, It seems that I've been having a lot of yeast in the bottom of the bottles on my new batches. Me think that it should be due to summery temperatures causing the yeast to reproduce a lot. Shall I use 3.5g per 23L instead of 7g? Thanks in advance. .z

    Green Tea Lager

    Hi there, I just tried to flavor a Lager with green tea and it seems to be blending real nice. Any recipe anyone knows based on green tea flavoring? My mate tried a tea spoon of coffee in a few bottles and the taste is really interesting. It may possibly be more appropriate with a stout...
