YEAST PACK FAILURE

YEAST PACK DID NOT ACTIVATE AFTER 4 DAYS. MADE A YEAST STARTER, STILL DEAD WILL USE DRY YEAST I GUESS INSTEAD. 1ST BAD EXPERIENCE. I'VE MADE THIS BEFORE 2 TIMES WITH GOOD RESULTS

Decent Lager - Easy to Brew

My "Go to" beer kit!

I have made this beer countless times over the years. It always turns out flavorful, yet balanced. Probably the most requested by my friends, and often the choice of my Christmas beer kit to distribute to the lucky ones. Lager at ale temps...what a concept!

tasted 68', not carbonated, only 7 in tank

I brewed this 10 days ago, took a S.P. reading yesterday and it read 1.020, so with no place to empty the vial, I tasted it. Already I can tell this is going to be excellent. I was sent 2206 Bavarian Lager yeast, and with that I moved the batch to a secondary @56'F. after reading the temp range chart from the yeast mfr. I'm going after an Anchor Steam flavor and I think I'm going to get even better. This is the fourth Williams kit my neighbor and I have done together and everything we've done has turned out better than expected. I'm planning on three more batches within the month while the temp in my garage is mid 50's. The Wits will start in the warmer weather. My hope is the fine folks at Williams does a Marzen(Oktoberfest) oder ein Maibock, bitte? How about sooner than later, after all it does have to be brewed in March. Keep up the great work; you have a steady customer in Channahon Illinois.

NICE

Great tasting beer. Be sure to let it sit for 2 months.
