well i have bought an esb pack of czeck pilsner.it has use by date of oct 05 so i hope this will be fresh enough.also some saaz hops and some wheat malt extract,the yeast under the lid i think is an s29 or 39 i think without going to look again.i wanted some w 34/70 yeast but brew shop didnt have it.anyway this is what i am going to do but probably change it a bit after i get some suggestions back,
1..pour the can into fermentor with 2 litres boiling water and mix well
2..add 150 grms of wheat malt extract and stir
3..top up to 20 litres and stir
4.. then add my yeast and stir well and airate for about 5 minutes
5.. put in fridge and ferment for a couple of weeks at about 10 deg or untill fg is correct
6..then secondry for another few weeks at about 10 deg with about 40 gr of saaz hops then bottle
also a bit confusing is the instructions in bold letters .DO NOT STIR YEAST IN.
now this seems a bit strange as i thought you had to airate the yeast at the start.anyway im sure some more knowledgable people will fill me in on this part,also would anyone recomend i chase down some w 34/70 yeast instead of the can yeast
cheers fergi
