MMMMM I might have been silly #-o #-o

Just bottled my coopers stout and about to get everything ready to stick on a mexican. Now I have a euro sitting and a mexican, now the euro is supposed to have a true lager yeast but I dont know about the mex so assumed I would have 2 differing yeasts after doing the stout...


But the 2 yeast packets are the same so 2 options

1 the mex has the same yeast as the euro
2 I've used the euro's lager yeast in the stout!!!


ah whats a coopers stout likely to taste like with a lager yeast ???? It fermented out okay to 1010 with medium spray malt.. Tasted alright out of the FV if a little sweet but I put that down to the priming sugar.


And before anyone says about having the 3 kits open, that was due to a very inquisitive toddler the day the parcel arrived!!!!

Im suprised you havent noticed the eggy smell from the euro yeast.

I just started a Mex and a Euro, and both my yeast packets were identical too.

So is it true about the coopers lager using lager yeasts? or not?

[johnston]

now you mention it no eggy smell from the stout!!!

maybe the mex has a proper lager yeast too.

My original plan was to use the euro yeast in the mex, to avoid using an ale yeast and another yeast in the euro and brew it at an even lower temp just to compare it to the original!

Or maybe the coopers lager yeast is a myth!!
