I love NovaLager yeast! It's changed my lager brewing forever. It's the real deal. A true game-changer. Glad to see you guys agree. The Lallemand Nottingham is also great in my experience. I laughed out loud when you guys sang "smoke on the porter!" Great video. Cheers!
I love my IPA's but you can't beat a nice crisp, quality lager on a hot summer's day! I've done two all grain brews with Nova lager, (my own Stella Nova and my Spike Island Helles) . Both turned out great. Highly recommend Nova lager yeast !! The thing that's always put me off brewing lager, is how long you have to wait before you can drink the final product. Nova lager solves this problem. And I know you guys aren't lager louts , so your high rating speaks volumes. 🍻
Hi there lads, I have Bria Italia on tap, and it's a fantastic Drink, I am sorry to say but brother Alan is a IPA man, and dark beer is not his thing, mild was my favourite drink growing up in the west midlands but moving to Yorkshire ,I have turned to Best Bitter, 10 X 10 for Dark Rock 👍 all the best chaps 🍺
Some great looking beers again, I agree not so fond of Smokey in beers one now and again maybe but that’s why we have different tastes. Love neck oil so looking forward to seeing that one 👍 I need some nova lager yeast in my life nice one cheers 👍🍻
im suppin the wainrights clone kit now, its ok, got the other three new kits at the same time, i think im going to pimp them up a bit, I made the same mistake with the muntons flagship, one is by far the best, some are ok, and the stout is rubbish
Hi d&p. When you did the Dark rock Birra Italia did you larger it in your keg prior to carbonation and if so for how long. Thanks for great videos. Keep it up. Pat
Hi Patrick. I'm supping a keg now, after lagering for 2 months. It really needs this time. It was drinkable from the start but I felt there was something missing - It just tasted boring. After conditioning for two months, it tastes like a premium draught lager. I was very surprised to discover this, but I'm glad that I waited. Served at 4°C at around 15 psi.
Im not a big lager drinker but I really liked the Birra Italia. It has a bit more of a malty body and character to it, and reminded me a little of Peroni Gran Riserva. Just used the standard yeast at the time, and just kept it around 19C. Got the DR Nectar Oil just ending fermentation. First time using liquid yeast on that one 👍
@@mikebeswick3420 Cant remember the yeast that was supplied with the kit at the time, but fairly sure it was an ale yeast with optimum temp between 18-20C. It was before you had a choice of what was supplied. Would probably go for the Nova-lager yeast next time.
Great video as always guys, With the novo lager yeast do you have to do a diacetyl rest? And I assume you can do away with the lagering at the end as well, you can just bottle/keg it let it condition and drink?
Hi. Can you remember what temp you fermented the nova lager yeast at. I’m going to make the dark rock birra and wondering if it’s better at lower temp. Cheers
Lager in the D&P???? What next football and alcopops or cider?
Brilliant show, keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing the next episode.

Another great review chaps. Shocking scenes in the D&P “LAGER” 😂 will the nova lager yeast work with extract kits?
Well am trying that as well,so we'll find out in a couple of videos time,where I try it out in a coppers lager,🍻👍

Do you reckon it would be better at a lower temperature?

Hi. Can you remember what temp you fermented the nova lager yeast at. I’m going to make the dark rock birra and wondering if it’s better at lower temp. Cheers
Just normal room temp ,in the summer,
Nova yeast as a range from about 10 to 20 degrees if I remember rightly
What do you think of underhill being dropped?
I think the team is and always will be more than one man
