youngs lambrini

Post by beer » Fri Mar 20, 2009 10:29 pm

hello all I've just had a taste of my youngs defenitive lager its been in the keg for nearly two weeks well eleven days curiosity got the better of me its still a bit green but to my suprise tastes quite good in a very strange way think a nice smooth slightly sweet wine.my first thought was lambrini but not so sweet.it had a good bit of head on it as it came out of the tap fingers crossed looks like this will be my first brewing success.
just thought ide share this :lol: has any body done this recently any thoughts is this as good as it gets or are better things to come :shock: picture to follow as number one child computer expert is in bedImage

If you have beer that taste like wine....well something definitely went wrong there :lol:

Well done on ye first success though :) It'll become a lot better with age, i generally find kits to be their best about 6 weeks old.
Now ye'll get the dreaded Brewing Disease, ye'll become obsessed, prowl these forums every waking hour, drool over shiny things, etc :lol:

yes i hope as it matures it starts to loose the sweet edge. i did a youngs brewbuddy lager before this one which was awfull had a very bitter after taste im obsessed already looking at things i cant afford to buy on ebay although there are some £20 corries on the ebay section i did think about getting one just to polish it =P~

lager update
just got home from work so i thought i would see how the youngs is going on well it doesn't taste like cheap wine any more =D> i must say i am quite impressed and possibly a bit proud of my self its been in the barrel aprox four weeks had plenty of fizz to it a good little head witch stayed . as for taste something like a strong shandy will have to keep my hands off it for a couple more weeks and see what its like at the magic six week mark
