Brewhouse Lager - Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2014

2 Brewhouse Lager kits on sale at Costco for $19.97 each. Regular price was $38.00 and the wine store sells them for $42.00 each. Definitely a bargain as long as they aren't out of date. The date is June 19, 2014. That would put them at 5 months old. Maybe. O.G. - 1.044 F.G. - 1.012 % -     4.2 SRM - 3 BU - 10 Wyeast German Ale 1007 and US-05. The 1007 was way cleaner than the dry yeast.
