Check out this link:
Bavarian is one of the few kits that comes with true lager yeast, so get it as cold as you can manage
in this heat. I did one in June at 13 deg now worries, I just wasn't game to add the second can.
Let us know how it comes out, I make a Bock each winter and this might be something to try if it works.
Robbo,
IT WORKED!
I served up the toucan (called it 'Deck the Halls' 7.5%ABV) at a party here on Saturday night (got it chilled and gassed just in time) and got rave reviews, nice amber colour, lots of flavour, nothing too over the top (I expected this one to be very bitter, but it wasnt) I had to switch to another keg towards the last half of the party so I'd have some for myself later in the week. Theres about a quarter to a third of the keg left. Thanks for the advice on the temp, switching ice packs on the fermenter for the fermentation period must have helped, I have another larger in a keg ATM that is a bit too fruity. Must remember to do largers in lower temps (and the ice gel packs) .
Oh and with the toucan, no headache in the morning! Gotta love that!
Cheers,
