Yeast pitching.....FFS there is enough in pack

[Bizier]

And someone had temerity to suggest this thread was not worthwhile!

Thank you for being one of the few individuals able to teach me a new word which is neither deeply technically specific, nor recently made up on the internet.
In a twist of irony, I just learned something from the thread.

13 pages people, don't stop now.

I think this thread has still got a few points of gravity to shed before it gets into conditioning phase.

You need to take it out of the tin first

[chewy]

[chewy]

Actually to lager properly the process starts as soon as fermentation starts.....

To make a proper Lager, the process starts at recipe design/brewing. Temps are not just relative to fermentation either.

I think Chewy is doing a tinned lager, so his influence in the process is limited to spec grains, yeast, extracts and sugars. And temps and times, of course.

Not that that's not already enough to get your head around...

You can't make a proper lager from a tin.

No, you need a fermenter!
