Jim's Beer Kit

For several years now I have brewed a lager around Xmas and allowed it to lager in my garage for January and February. This year I brewed the Munich Hells lager all grain kit from the malt miller and have been enjoying the best lager I have ever made in this long hot summer.

Always good to see a returning brewer. If you like dark beers try Graham Wheelers Old Peculiar it really is quite special.

I find Admiral a nicer bittering hop than Target.

Brewed this recipe several times, a nice pint.

+1 for Ernest a great hop.

Have you tried Wibblers brewery in Southminster.

I think you can't see the recipe because the member that posted it left and took it with him.

That’s just how I remember it….
Wife’s uncle described it has fighting beer….
Once inside it fights to get out yer rear end.
Think it was around 4.5% if correct so it had a bit of oomph to it…

I might be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Hughes plagiarized a lot of his book.

I used the grainfather cleaner for the first couple of years. When I first moved used the chemclean a lot more gunk came out. Having said that I've never had an infection since I've had the grainfather.

I prefer this

I bought a graincoat https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product ... graincoat/ with ever increasing energy prices a worthwhile investment

With the increasing cost of electricity I'm pleased I invested in solar panels several years ago.

It's gets better surely not.

What would you recommend?

Any other yeast will be an improvement over SO-4. Personally I use liquid yeast but always keep a pack of Nottingham as a back up.

I will be doing my 3rd brew with Ernest next week after being impressed with the first 2 brews. If I may make one suggestion try it with a better yeast than S0-4
