Tom Caxton Pilsner Strong Lager brews a traditional, full-bodied lager with a stronger finish than the standard Tom Caxton Lager. A hop extract sachet in the kit adds a fresh aroma of country hops.
What is included
- 1.8kg can of malt extract
- Hop extract sachet for aroma
- Brewing yeast
How to brew it
Warm the can, pour it into a sanitised fermenter with about 3.5 litres of boiling water and 1kg of brewing sugar, stir well, then top up with cold water to 20 litres. Sprinkle on the yeast at 18-21°C and leave to ferment for 4-6 days, or until your hydrometer reading holds steady for 3 days. Prime with half a teaspoon of sugar per pint, keep warm for two days, then store somewhere cool for about 14 days until clear. Stir in the hop extract sachet as the can instructions direct.
Who it is for
Lager fans who want a bit more strength and body. You will need 1kg of Brewing & Winemaking Sugar, a fermenter, a hydrometer and ChemSan to sanitise everything. More kits in the Tom Caxton range.
