Hi All,
I have knocked out a few decent Ales that I have been quite happy with (steeping grain and boiled and/or dryhopping).
Though some of my soft mates (not all thank god), think they are too "strong in flavour" for them.... *sigh* I know, I know!
Anyhow I thought now I have 2 FV's and a 4 tap kegerator up and running. I can run a couple of decent partial grain extract ales for myself and other mates of mine that are beer aficionados...
But for my other sooky mates, I would like to brew a decent lager along the lines of an easy drinking & cruisy taste on the palate.
So if you have a damn good extract and grain steeped recipe I am all ears...
I have temp controlled fridge and no dramas to get my hands on a carboy for the lagering process... Which is going to be my first time using the lagering technique. So after the initial chosen recipe is brewed and fermented with lager yeast at around 10c from what I read. I need to syphon to a carboy and sit at close to 0c as possible for a few weeks, correct?
Can I force carbonate in keg? Or let it carbonate over some time? Seems like a long process... Though all good things come to people who wait...
Anyhow thanks for all the help I have received over the weeks, just frikn stoked to be knocking up half decent ales!
