How to brew it
Soften the cans in hot water, mix with 3.5 litres of boiling water, top up to 23 litres with cold water and add the yeast. Ferment at 18-20°C for 4-6 days until the gravity holds steady below 1014, then prime, keep warm for 2 days and condition somewhere cool for 14 days. Full steps: Muntons Gold instructions.
Ideal for lager drinkers who want a clean, crisp pint. Fancy a cleaner lager yeast? Try Saflager W-34/70. See the full Muntons Gold range.
