Endless Possibilities for Experimentation!
Here are some ideas:
- Pilsner: Brew a crisp pilsner by adding Saflager S-189/W34/70 yeast or opt for a more flavourful and crisp profile with LalBrew Diamond Lager.
- Sour: Create a fresh sour by pitching Philly Sour, letting it work for 3-4 days, then adding US-05 yeast. Flavour with fruit purées like raspberry or passion fruit—sour fruits pair exceptionally well in these styles! Experiment freely—there are endless possibilities!
- Kölsch: Use K-97 yeast for a fantastic, flavourful Kölsch.
- Blonde Ale: Use US-05 yeast and dry-hop with 100g of Citra, Mosaic, or El Dorado for an exciting twist!
