One of my favourite kit brews was simply two tins of Coopers original series Lager. End of story.

Use only one of the yeasts and keep as cool as possible during fermentation as this can be a foam monster. Where you are at the moment NW Slopes, if you have a garage, shed or laundry with a fairly steady temperature you should get high teens in the temperature of the brew in the fermenter at the moment so ideal weather.

I'm putting on my flame suit.
I'd suggest using a low bittered can, like a Woolies homebrand Lager, ferment at 12' with 34/70 yeast and play with whatever hops takes your fancy. Citra, cascade or galaxy. I did this the first time I used Galaxy. 15gms dry hopped in 11.5 L for 5 days after 6 days of ferment. Lovely passionfruit, I know it's not right for a lager, but I had no complaints and that shelf in the fridge was empty very quickly.

What yeasts are you using with these recipes?

 

[i-a-n]

While in Woolies I'd recommend the blue tin, Tooheys, a snip at $10 and absolutely spot on. Better than in the pub imho. I do mine with dextrose.
