Homebrew beer #1 : Morgan’s Stockmans Draught

Posted on | September 12, 2009 |

Morgan’s Stockmans Draught is the kit I used for my first ever homebrew beer. I added 1kg of brewing sugar, and used the lager yeast supplied with the kit.

I left the beer to ferment for 14 days - this was not intentional, ideally I would have bottled it earlier. When being bottled into plastic 750ml bottles, I added brewing sugar to prime, and the fizz of the beer is just right.

I tried the beer 14 days after being bottled, and it tasted great. Slightly thin in body, refreshing and nutty in taste, Stockman’s Draught is much more of a flavoursome lager than than most commerical lagers, almost 30% ale and 70% lager tasting.

I am now leaving the bottles to mature, after which I will jot down my full tasting notes.
