Amazing

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.

Yum Yum

 Just tasted my first bottle last night. Delicious. Black as night, but suprisingly thin/light bodied. Beautiful color, but still refreshing and crisp. Don't fear the "dark" in this one. I'd give it a 5 for 5 but since this is only my 6th kit I won't be won over too easily. It's cold in the basement where i'm brewing so i'm using a heating belt (the best solution to a cool evironment) it spent 4 days in the primary and 14 in the secondary, in the bottles for 18 more before they were properly carbonated.
