Any way someone kindly donated a Youngs Lager kit to me and I remembered the following recipe tucked away at the back of Dave Lines book (plus my amendments)
SAN MIGUEL 20 litres (23l)
Edme Lager Kit 1.8kg ( Youngs 1.5kg)
Golden syrup 1kg
Hallertau hops 15g
Lager yeast
Follow instructions as per normal kit dissolving the sugar and golden syrup at the same time as the lager malt.
Then simmer the hops in 2 litres of water for 10 minutes and then sieve liquor in to the fermenter.
I added 1kg of white sugar as well as my lager kit was smaller and I wanted 23 litres not 20. The smell from the fermenter this morning is fantastic - has anyone tried this recipe before ?
