GPA it is then. :noworries:

Hi Brewers Does anyone have a Balter clone recipe in kit form?

Well, I'm drinking the lager and it's lost the banana aroma but I'm still finding the Fresh Wort Kits mainly all tasting much the same.

I only get the odd PET bottle that doesn't carbonate. As livo said, they last for years but need tightening fairly firmly.

It must take a few years for taste detectable traces to emerge then.

Yep.

Just relating to FWKs (All In Brewing), I've been brewing them for a while but found that they all seem to taste the same, or very similar. Anyone else found this? I'm going back to extract brewing.

As soon as you empty bottle, rinse out and add a teaspoon of bleach, fill with water and soak overnight. Next morning rinse thoroughly and hang on bottle tree.

Yes, it is a lager after all. I'm fermenting it at 18C and it's ready to bottle. I usually leave the bottles for a month so it could disappear. Anyway, if it tastes okay it won't matter. This is my first "pseudo" lager attempt.

Hi Brewers, I'm using an M54 California Lager Yeast for a fresh word lager kit and it's giving off a banana aroma during fermentation? Is this normal with this yeast?

Interesting, thanks.

Can you use an ale yeast and ferment a lager (fresh wort kit) at 18deg?

If you mean by "lager" it, did I ferment it at 12C for a couple of weeks until all activity stopped, yes I did.

After a lager has fermented out and bottled, can I just store it in a cupboard at room temperature?

:bowdown:

I have a strainer that's too small to sit across the top of the fermenter so I tie 2 pieces of dowel to it so I can use 2 hands to tip up the pot.

Good idea.

That looks the goods. Cheers.

Yes, I do have an Inkbird temp. controller. Thanks for the good information.
