Sounds cracking mate! I haven't done an all grain lager or pilsner yet. I've got a Keo Lager recipe that I'm gonna try out this winter.

Re: Easy smash lager recipe please
the only downside to it was a bit of chill haze , but seeing as i did most things a bit on the agricultural side with no real idea what i was doing it was amazing. Whats the keo lager?

What yeast did you use for yours?

Keo Lager is the local lager of Cyprus.
Im getting chill haze now with my beer but I've got to the point where it doesn't bother me anymore. As I've done quite a few really hoppy IPA's it can't be helped really, all becomes one with the hop oils!

i used fermentis w34/70 , its a cracking lager yeast, tried a few lager kits and they were all bad until i tried that yeast.

Good choice! That is my go to yeast for all lager kits I've done. Gonna be using it for my all grain lager.
