Geordie Lager kit with ale yeast and hops

I took a Geordie lager kit, beer enhancer, goldings hops and Safale s40

Hopefully will be nice bottled and chilled in summer

i like the instructions on the bottle 'do not drop', just in case you were considering it!

very inventive, be interesting to see how this goes. I was considering a few things for my next brew - an extract brew, another belgian or another stout however this has got me thinking

keep us informed

is that one of those water cooler bottles? I always thought the "plastic demijohn" was just one of those.

I might just be able to "borrow" one or two empties.

this is a quality idea for a fermenter, im going to have to have a look about for a few of these aswell..

how long until the resulting beer wil be ready?

It's practically stopped any activity. I think it needs another few days to totally finish. So i'll get bottles ready

Going to use a bunch of 2 litre PET and 1 pint magners bottles.

Will prime with glucose

i find using the 2l PET bottles a pain, because if you dont drain the 4 pints in one go, or take 1 pint out and leave them for another 2-3 days you get cloudy beer.

the smaller the better i find when it comes to bottles.

The 2 litres are for my father in law who can easily drain the 4 pinters

I was putting all my beer projects and stuff on a friends forum but it was a bit cumbersome to manage. So i've started the blog to keep a track of things ^_^

Done and bottled. Tasted great from the syphon, nice and light but hoppy.

Got a fair load out of it
