How to get a maltier taste

Post by ahuckle » Mon Dec 07, 2009 4:27 pm

Hello everyone
I have brewed about a dozen or so kits so far,have had great fun ,and probably will not buy commercial lager again.
So far I have only tried the coopers range ,and was wandering how I can get a maltier taste,so far have tried adding all the additional sugar in spraymalt, and used saflager yeast once,which after a month tastes very smooth.
Any ideas,also what other lagers do you think are worth a try.

You could try replacing all of the sugar with spraymalt, or go for a 3kg all malk kit such as Brupaks Special Lager.

You could steep some grains or add flavapaks.

Start by buying some flavapaks and using those according to instructions first, that's the easy intro to steeping grains and pepping the beer up with some fresh hops.
