Pilsner - brew 2

Thomas coopers brewmaster pilsner

My second bew, which I started pretty much the second that the lager was bottled.
I really should have waited to taste the lager first, as I made the same mistakes with this brew; namely squeezing the bottles during the capping.

Bitter and sour tastes, flat because of squeezing the bottles again, I think.
2 weeks later, still not very drinkable.

After another few weeks, some of the bottles are actually drinkable, being clean tasting without the sourness they had before.
Most bottles are still too flat, but they're developing a small amount of head.

I've put aside a few bottles to taste in a few months along with the lager.
