Hi folks,
I started a Thomas Cooper's pilsner as per the can instructions (500 g LDME + 300g dex, made up to 23L, used the supplied lager yeast) on Jan 1, 2009. It's been fermenting in the primary since that time @ < 17 degrees C (basement temp is very stable between 16-17 degrees C).
For those of you who have experience with this kit, what fermentation schedule do you normally follow, i.e. how long in primary / secondary / bottle before the beer is ready to drink, and what temperatures do you normally keep this brew at during the primary/secondary/bottle conditioning phases? Would love hear about your experiences and what kind of results I might expect with the finished brew.
Thanks,
- Artichoke.
