I have now got some of the bits needed for my first ever mash(part) lager with liquid yeast.
I have 1Kg of "german larger grain"
(small amount for my first attempt)
was going to use a blackrock lager kit 1.5-1.7Kg's??
Now do i need to add DME to make up the "1kg suger added" in the normal kit recipe??
1Kg of grain = 3/4 a kg of "added sugger" ???
I am going to add 20g or hops 5 min before the end of boil (and some irish moss to help clear) and 20g of hops at end of boil for aroma. (Hallertau i think i decided on)
Should i strain this hops out or let it go into the fermenter?
I have the Californian Wyeast
Lastly, i was going to buy there 5Lt mini mash twin bucket set up, but i have heaps of the buckets at home so i will make it myself.
whats a good size, i have 20Lt buckets, drill holes in the "top" bucket for the false floor, and a pipe with its restricter on the bottom bucket.
Do i add the hot water and grain and let it sit, or will i need to source a heating element to keep it hot enough??
Thanks verymuch for your help :chug:
