I've got a black lager that'll be ready to drink in about two week, very excited
Recipe, method? What temperature are you storing it at? -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadYeah, homebrew. Can't remember the exact recipe, the guys I live with and I brew as a group and I wasn't around much while this one was in the beginning stages. I remember we used a few kg of pilsen malt, and some carapils. Can't remember what other grains/hops were used unfortunately, or the mash times, sorry.
It's being stored at about 18 degrees, probably not ideal but best we could do.
Really looking forward to it, we've been doing a lot of heavier drinks recently so it'll be nice to have something a little lighter for the warmer weather. -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadOh, it'll be chilled to that for drinking, keeping it at 18 for the secondary fermentation and clearing stages. Plus, even when it comes to cooling for drinking we won't be able to keep all of it at that temperature (5 gallon kegs are hard to fit in the fridge :P) -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat thread"lagering" means cold fermenting. Google it. Lager yeast only ferments at low temperatures.(Original post by Mr Ben)

If this works, you will probably have a black california common. -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadAh, really? I had no idea, I'm pretty much learning by doing when it comes to the brewing, cheers for the heads up. Hopefully it'll still come out ok then, hate the idea of having to chuck out that much beer if it hasn't fermented properly.(Original post by py0alb)

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadWhere are you going?(Original post by jamesjamesk)
Going on holiday next week, which is all inclusive. I have been informed that all local beers are included in this all inclusive party...
Depends on the hotel, some will serve you a small plastic cup of draught beer, the one I went to in Mexico gave you bottles or pints, whichever you preferred. -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadIt's not really free is it?(Original post by jamesjamesk)
I'm going to Tenerife, which, to be honest I can see a small plastic cup...but free beer?! I won't mind!
Am I being to naive here..?
All inclusives have a bad reputation but there is a world of difference between them. -

Re: Beer Lovers Chat threadI'm going through a bit of a schwarz/dunkel Bier phase at the moment. On my trips to Bavaria I used to drink plenty of Erdinger Dunkel, but my favourite is Stoertebeker Schwarzbier sold by my local specialist beer & ale shop. I'll probably revert to a 'ruby ale phase' once Autumn kicks in though.
