First Bottles of Lager
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 10:01 pm
Hi All,
My first post as you can see
Bottled up my first ever brew this evening, Coopers Aussie Lager (hope this is ok in the 'beer' section!).
Couple of pics of it
Am I correct in assuming its meant to be cloudy at the moment and after its week in that cupboard for the secondary fizzmentation and its storage in the shed until Xmas Eve it will clear up ?
OG was 1.040 ish and final was just over 1.002 but my hydrometer is about 20 years old and the temps weren't the same, couldn't be bothered to calculate it exactly but it was at that for 2 days (started last tuesday) so into the bottles with a bit of sugar
There might be a bit missing from the 40 pints as I had some er technical difficulties with my syphon
Cupboard has a Blackberry, Peach and Chardonnay 'Style' all from Youngs on the go. Figured I would try the kits out before going all fruit. Will post pics of those once they are done.
Garage has 40 pints of Geordie Mild on the go, and I now have a spare FV
