However a number of the Brewprint lagers are very enjoyable and have character to them. I’m a convert with theses recipes but still not with the pub.

Paul84 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Looks like I need to look into a few new brewprints when I get through my next batch then lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Kegged today (31/12/19), looked and smelled great. Profile stated fermentation between 9 and 20 days, well this was my longest so far with a 14 day fermentation. Dry hopped with Amarillo 5 days ago. Be a while before consumption as currently in a maturing keg. (These kegs I don’t pour from but later transfer to other kegs). Put down another Highland IPA my 3rd one - a favourite.

Captain 3 Droids Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Well for some reason I didn’t review this one but my notes have rated it right up there with most of the others. Will be next one in so can report on result properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 In today, may be a bit of a wait as last one took 14days fermentation yet it is a simple recipe. Suspect the yeast Y8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Kegged after 11 days fermentation, replaced with Golden Days of Summer Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just over five weeks, nice flower type taste back with sweet citrus to taste. Sweet malt bitter finish, certainly note sickly sweet just a lovely balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 So enjoyable in the droid today. As far as lagers go this is worth a brew. Anyone else done it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I'm also not usually a lager drinker but this one sounds really good. I'd be keen to give it a go and dry hop as per your recipe. Edited July 1, 2020 by Dustin Frothman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be keen to give it a go and dry hop as per your recipe. Follow the Brewprint recipe however dry hop the 20g Amarillo Pellets at day 8. My fermentation time records indicate a 14 and 11 day fermentation. The 3 day difference I believe could be due to the yeast dates, 14 days = 2018 yeast, 11 days 2019 yeast. I’ve mentioned before I was not a lager fan as disliked those on pub taps and the over the top hopped craft bottled ones. However a convert for Brewprint lagers, you have to give a few a go and this one would not be a bad start however look at the top ten spreadsheet in Brewart Banter Edited July 1, 2020 by Barrelboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Interesting that this one was Kegged today after 8days fermentation, it was with a 2020 yeast date. Therefore check the yeast and if 2020 I’d dry hop at 6days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Another great favourite, easy drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Put this one on today. Used a 2020 yeast and have plenty of Amarillo pellets in the freezer so will dry hop accordingly on day 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Made it back from Sydney just in time today for a lovely COVID test and then straight home to put 20g of Amarillo into this brew on day 6. Hopefully my timing is right. I decided to use a hop ball as I figured that with a small amount of hops the direct to Droid method plus the two day cold crash was overkill. This is my first Brewart Lager so I’m really looking forward to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Kegged this morning. 11 day fermentation - so the hops were in there for a little longer than planned. Smelt good. Also added 1 x H1 sachet to each keg as per the standard recipe. Set the first keg conditioning timer for 6 weeks but may try at 5 as didn't get any overflow bottles from this one.

Out of interest try one at 4 weeks then the 5. Will be interested in your opinion between 4, 5 and 6 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Kegged am today into a maturing keg. Basically a week behind you Dustin so will be interesting to follow your tasting thoughts and the two different carbonation methods Another delivery Edited February 18, 2021 by Captain 3 Droids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the conditioning timer and tomorrow is 4 weeks secondary. So perhaps we'll get into this one next week. I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
