hi am thinking of trying to make a semi grolsch clone out of a kit,morgans lager,wals or Xtract lager plus some extra hops. already have some hallertau and a kilo of LDM. appreciate some advice on what would work for a novice brewer thanks

oh yeah would saflager work? temp is around 15 degrees C [/img]

Thats a pretty decent temperature to use a Saflager, if only a touch too high. Best to go with Saflager W34/70.

LDM and Hallertau are fine for the style, and I'm sure any good lager kit will work. If you could find a specific dutch lager kit to begin with, you could try that as your base.

thanks,was in a bit of a rush at the hb store and he was sold out of all lagers except wals. is it an ok lager? also should i go the saflager or use the wals one? was out of saflager too got some tettnanger too. am keen to brew this up tonight! appreciate some more help thanks

Looks like the Wals Lager can comes with a genuine lager yeast already (which is probably a Saflager), so go with that one.

thanks for replies mr rabbit am gonna brew it up with tetnanager and ldm. am still after a grolsch clone to put down next week. brewing is damn addictive

Try brewcraft dutch lager with number 15 brew booster, hallertau finishing hops 10g and saflager yeast, final volume 22l
