Threecan Brew

[Cracka]

last night I kegged ( into a 40L keg ) my first Threecan

I must have been bored when I put this one together

Not as bad as it sounds.

3 x Farmland Lager
500G LDME
15g SAAZ

2 x fermenters. 1 can of goop in each
1 can & LDME in with 4L of water boiled for 20min
SAAZ in at five to go.
Split boiled goop into fermenters evenly.
Pitched a morgans dry lager yeast in one & used a starter from my last lager in the second. ( Saflager from memory )
Made up to 42L ( 21 in each fermenter ).
Fermented at 16 Deg.

I had a sample out of the fermenter ..... & it's not to bad :super:

Goop $27
LDME $4 ?
SAAZ $3 ?
Total $34 ( 80 cents a litre )

Anybody else tried something similar. :blink:

I was about to do a toucan Coopers Lager - I had great results with my last toucan and it actually has a similar background flavour to Skol superlager 9% and I was thinking of upping it to a threecan. I've just heard that Kmart have Coopers for $9 at the moment so threecan it will be! Might whack in a kilo of LDME as well and see what eventuates.

Hi Cracka,
purely coincidental,but about 4-5 years ago(that's not the coincidence,i will get to it),i spoke to my local brew shop about attempting a Chimay Blue imitation.
There were 2 x 1.7 kilo kits,500 grams of liquid wheat malt,another kilo of liquid malt(can't remember which one),two types of extra hops,and a Belgian liquid yeast-all up,around three cans.
Anyway,it was absolutely rabid to drink-filthy.....
Tried one about every six months till it finally became just drinkable at 2 years.
By this stage,i'd waited long enough so poured the rest out.....needed bottles.
Anyway,i was going through my store yesterday of old stock,and by chance,there was one left (i think,going out in a minute to see if there are more),and it was the single best beer i have EVER tried in my life......
Chimay,yeah,not too far off,but better....
You will need patience,more so than usual,to get the best results,but i am dirty i threw the rest out know LOL!!!!
