Hi everyone,
Well i have just put down my latest effort:
1x Coopers Bavarian Lager (Can only)
1x 1.5Kg Black Rock "Amber" LME
US-05 yeast
I had to figure out a way to use the Bavarian kit I had in the cupboard, though I dont have the facilities to use the 'real' lager yeast...i.e. keep things at about 10 degrees. Hopefully this "Franken-Lag'Ale" will turn out alright.
I've also, HOPEFULLY, sorted my infection problems. I used a few caps of the BrewClean stuff from my local HBS and a little water and shook the fermenter, airlock, spoons etc really well. Seems to have cleaned everything within an inch of their lives. Following that, I *marinated* the lot with BrewShield diluted in an atomiser.
Fingers crossed the dreaded sour/off tasting beer is history!
