Home brewing – Young’s Harvest Pilsner Lager beer kit what temperature range?
Before I got the can of extract I was going to ferment it at 12C, being a lager yeast, but now i’ve read the label it says the temperature range should be 18C-24C (65-75F).
I think this temp range is just a broad scope for a few of their beer types as it’s listed under a heading of Yorkshire bitter, Scottish heavy, and Pilsner Lager.
Am I safe fermenting at 12C? if not whats the lowest temp I could use? Some feedback from a person who has brewed this would be great, or at least someone who knows what the yeast is.
Did the yeast come with the kit?
12C makes sense to me as I would have said 10C. But it is rarely a good idea to ignore the manufactures instructions.
My guess is that this kit is a Continental Pilsner and the manufacture designed it to be fermented like a California Common – a Lager fermented like an Ale. If the yeast is White Labs Lager Yeast, then I am correct. Yuu can check out White Lab Lager Yeasts at www.whitelabs.com/beer/homebrew_strains.html
IMPORTANT: Make a yeast starter. If you have not made one, refer to
www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter6-5.html and
www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter6-6.html
Do the instructions call for racking after two weeks and lagering at a lower temperature?
If not, contact your LHBS (Local Homebrew Shop) and ask them for advice.
I’d wish you good luck, but it is far better to be good than it is to be lucky!
