Greetings,

As a veteran home brewer, I was disappointed with the American Premium Lager. I pitched the Cooper's Ale yeast that cam e with it and followed procedures as usual. The results were so disappointing, that I gave most of it away to a friend who would drink anything lol. Not even close to their Munich Dark Lager! I've done that one with the Cooper's and it was great. I recently pitched another and this time pitched the kit (+5 liters water) on top of leftover yeast/slurry from a Festa West Coast Pale Ale. The result was in the style of an American Brown Ale (US Safale 05) and was one of the best browns I have ever had - purchased or home brewed. Next up will be Brewhouse Oktoberfest, subbing the Cooper's yeast with a Saflager 23, and lagering in my temp controlled fridge. BTW the Oktoberfest worked well with the Cooper's for the record when I brewed it previously.

Awesome

American Premium Ale

Considering I've made almost all of the Brewhouse Kits this one may not be my favorite. But it was a favorite for family and friends. It's as close as it gets to a lager with a ale yeast. I added 4L of water then fermented for 3 wks at 20c then bottle conditioned for 3 wks at 20c and cold conditioned for 2 wks.
