Lager Brewday
Evening All,

11.1% Crystal Malt
5.6% Cara-pils
Mash at 64c for 75 minutes
Boil for 60 minutes
18 IBUs Saaz at 60 minutes
4.4 IBUs Saaz at 15 minutes
2 IBU Saaz steeped for 30 minutes
Mangrove Jacks M76 Yeast
Fermented at 10c for 10 days
Temperature raised to 19c over 5 days
Temperature left at 19c for 2 days
Lagered at 3c for 20 days after

Hops weighed out
Final result

Clarity was absolutely spot on, it was crystal clear. The colour was a light gold, very light flavour to it as well; I think a bit more malt would have helped. The head retention was very good and carbing at 16 PSI seem to do the trick as far as carbonation was concerned.
The smell, I can't really describe it other than it smelled like a lager. The keg was demolished within an hour so, so it's safe to say it went down well with the masses.

Probably the lack of malt was a plus for the less discerning drinkers.

Absolutely, it went down a storm mind so I can't complain.

Re: Lager Brewday
James,
A couple of questions, if you dont mind.................
How big was the Keg?
How many were in the `Masses`?
Sounds like a good un to me!

Re: Lager Brewday
Only 19l and 6 or 7 continuous drinkers. We had an IPA on tap too but that wasn't really touched (I made a dent in it mind).
James
I should caveat that with those that enjoyed it were homebrew skeptics so while on a small keg I'll take that as a victory .

Re: Lager Brewday
James,
It made me laugh when I posted it.
English version... `Did you drop it on the floor`?
Welsh version...`Dropped it on the floor did you`?
That came out as the way I speak and it sounded too Welshy.
Try saying the Welsh version with a Welsh Accent and you will sound like a person from Pakistan or India!

Also, the Welsh version above sounds like Yoda-speak.
