Tooheys Lager

Punter · Post by **Punter** » Monday Mar 27, 2006 9:27 am

A mate brought round a can of this stuff on Sat. and asked me to brew it for him. I have never brewed this one before, so threw in a couple of extra bits and pieces. The recipe goes like this:
Tooheys special lager 1.7kg
carapils 200gm- steeped
crystal 150gm - steeped
LDM 250gm
Dex 250gm
EKG- 10gm- 45min
EKG - 10gm- 30min
EKG - 10gm - 15min
EKG - 10gm dry hopped in primary
Sg 1.030
2 pack Saflager starter pitched at 24c
now fermenting at 12c
hopefully this will turn out ok, expecting a mid strength beer.
Has anyone any ideas how this will taste? Not bad from hydro sample.

I have brewed the Tooheys Lager several times but only with 1 kg LDME and adding a hallertau hop tea bag. Turned out to be a very drinkable brew.

Ha Ha, "Mager" yes good name for it

Off style a bit I know, but just added some leftovers that i've had sitting around a while. Will taste in a few weeks. Hopefully hav'nt destroyed his beer

Better get 'Mager' added to the BJCP Style Guidlines.

Cheers,

it will probably benefit from six weeks of "magering".

Does that involve placing the fermenter in a tree and performing a rain dance? Confused... This should be in the FAQ
