Having just realised that my supply of Wazza's Honey Porter is running very low I need to make a few batches of something robust and flavoursome, but given the current temps I want to use a lager yeast.
Any suggestions on a full-bodied "lager" ? Enhanced kit or extract.

Cheers

Here's a nice Munich Dunkel for you to try:

1 can Coopers Lager
1.5kg can of Coopers light liquid malt extract
200g Vienna malt
200g Munich malt
100g Carafa Special 1 malt
Munich lager yeast, or a saf lager yeast of your choice, say S-23 or S-189.

Mill/Crush 200 g Vienna malt, 200 g Munich malt and 100 g Carafa Special 1 and place into a grain bag and steep 2L 70°C water for 20 minutes. Lift the grain bag out and squeeze between a pair of tongs or plates. Pour through another 2L 70°C water. Add water to make a total of 6 litres. Bring to boil and boil with lid on for 10 minutes. Turn heat off, add 10g Hallertau hops. Put the lid on the saucepan. Leave to soak for 1 minute. Cool in a sink filled with cold water before adding to the fermenter and pitching yeast. Allow to drop to under 15 degrees and proceed with fermentation as usual.

Thanks rw
Sounds nice, Will give it a try

Sounds like Munich Dunkels are popular at the moment.

At my place, they're popular all year 'round!
