So I have only been brewing for a short time. I first brewed a Mexican cerveza, which turned out alright (considering) it was Morgan's brand with more expensive dextrose from the Brew shop... I then did a coopers lager with the cheap dextrose from big w. This turned out kind of crap, with a...

So I bottled my cider and chucked in a lager.. Dried the seal and rim.. Couldn't find any Vaseline or anything at home so chucked a little four seasons water based lube on there and she's bubbling away nicely now [emoji23]
