Hey guys.
Well I've settled into the working life, built my STC-1000 and got myself 100 bottles so I'm ready to brew in the UK finally!
I'd like to brew something for my dad. He is a real lager man, maybe Pilsner. I've been trying to get him to drink anything apart from San Miguel and Stella Artois so I got some Heineken. I don't know what your opinions are on Heineken, expecting some flak coming my way, but I like Heineken and I feel like it's a little better than San Miguel and Stella Artois, but he didn't like it. He said there was an after taste. So I guess I need to go back a few steps and brew something that's crisp, refreshing and with very little after taste.
So could you guys recommend me some lager or Pilsner recipes that might go down well? I remember there was a lager doing the rounds when I joined the forums. It had a Kiwi name somehow and had a really short fermentation time? At the time I thought it sounded appealing but I didn't brew AG back then so I never brewed it. Can anybody remember the name?
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated! Nor just my ramblings about this random Kiwi lager!
Thanks guys!
EDIT: Think it was Parched as Bro Pale Ale. Perhaps this isn't the correct recipe for a first beer for the old man.
