Of course, most of us homebrewers and many craft brewers keep alive the even older tradition of ale brewing, which has had a small resurgence of its own in the past 20 years. Even so, there are times when we want to brew lagers, especially the more full-flavored styles that often are harder to find commercially or are prohibitively expensive. Early avoidance

A few lager styles, such as Czech Pilsner, feature noticeable hop character. Most lagers, however, use hops more in a supporting role, either balancing malty flavors for German styles or the light body and restrained flavors of American lagers. Consult the style guidelines for the qualities appropriate for your beer. Hop varieties used are often noble European types or their American derivatives, but it’s worth experimenting to see what may suit your tastes. Not the least is the yeastNote: The yeast supplied with Coopers European Lager is a pure lager strain and behaves differently to other yeasts in this series. Important: Even if the temperature is outside recommended range but within the range of 18°C-32°C (64°F-90°F) add the yeast. At this point prompt addition of yeast is more important than ideal temperature. Note: The yeast supplied with 86 Days Pilsner is a pure lager strain and behaves differently to other yeasts in this series.

You can work out how many units there are in any drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by its ABV (measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000. With so many different drinks and glass sizes, from shots to pints – not to mention bottles – it's easy to get confused about how many units are in your drink. Hint: If you are unsure of the quantities of hot and cold water required try filling the FV with hot and cold water without the ingredients to get a feel for what is needed to achieve 21°C-27°C.Wort chilling is also more important in lager brewing. The wort should be chilled to a temperature of 60 °F (15 °C) or below. If you use an immersion or counterflow wort chiller, the temperature of the chilling water becomes a factor. Those who have relatively warm tap water may have to employ an ice-water bath pre-chiller for the water or post-chiller for the wort.

Adjuncts used in many American Pilsners and generic international lagers require mashing. Extract brewers can use rice syrup and corn syrup that are widely available, so these adjuncts can be added in the brewpot. The most important factor in lager brewing is the yeast. Lager strains have evolved to become adapted to lower fermentation temperatures, typically 45–55 °F (7–13 °C), which results in slower activity and more neutral flavor profiles with fewer fruity esters. There are some differences in attenuation and flavor among lager strains (some finish more dry and crisp, while others are a little more sweet and malty) but they tend to be more similar to each other than the wide diversity of ale strains. Monitoring the advertising strategies of various brands and gain insights into channel focus, regional focus, and more Unilever product advertising is mainly through mainstream TV channels. Out of the products advertised so far at least 50% (over 850) of ads have been run on TV, while print media comes second with 496 ads. Unilever also utilizes social media platforms for advertisement. After about 6 days at 21°C or 4 days at 27°C (higher temperatures shorten the ferment time) test the SG with a hydrometer. Test the SG each day. Final Gravity (FG) is reached once SG is stable 2 days in a row.

Ferment the starter at room temperature; the purpose of a starter is to propagate yeast rather than produce beer. Allow 2–3 days for each step of the starter to work. If you are concerned about the flavor of the starter being different from that of the wort into which it is pitched, wait an extra day or so for the yeast to flocculate and settle out. Then pour off much of the liquid and pitch mostly the yeast sediment that remains. Obviously, controlling the fermentation temperature is also important. Unless you are fortunate enough to have a location with a stable temperature of 45–55 °F (7–13 °C), this will require a fermentation chamber of some sort. Most homebrewers of lagers use a spare refrigerator or freezer with an external temperature controller to ferment their beer, which allows quite precise control (within 2 °F/1 °C). Used refrigerators and freezers are easy to find; the controllers are available from homebrew shops or electrical and heating/air conditioning wholesalers. Homebrewers may wonder if there is still enough healthy yeast remaining to carbonate the beer. In terms of numbers, the answer is usually yes. Even seemingly crystal clear unfiltered beer contains a considerable amount of yeast. However, it may not be as healthy as desired, especially in higher gravity beers. Those who wish to hedge their bets may want to pitch additional yeast at bottling. I recommend this if the original gravity is 1.070 or higher. The last half of the 19th Century brought a revolution in brewing, when technical and scientific advances — including refrigeration and isolation of pure yeast strains — propelled lager beer far beyond its traditional birthplace in central Europe and allowed it to be brewed virtually anywhere. It has now reached the point where more than 90% of the beers brewed worldwide are lagers. ABV is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol as a percentage of the total volume of liquid in a drink.
