Hi Guys great Forum i have found out some great tips to get me started on my first brew..
i started with a coopers lager (it was in the kit )
i went with some changes that i read will help a kit brew in taste
eg dextrose and Malt-extract and a decent yeast (i also poped in a hops tea bag)
Questions
i have no idea when to take the hops bag out it has been in there for 4 days now i assume it stays in till kegging?
Finings- how much should i use,does it have to sit for 2 days if i am kegging it,how do you add it (open lid and tip in ?)
trying to do the right thing and keep my beer cool while it's fermenting in laundry in tub of water but temp gauge seems to read strange
anyone else have this problem ?(its reading a higher temp in the water)
This being my first kegging attempt as well is a bit to take on for a first dig but with this forum and any advice you guys can offer im sure will help heaps ..(will move on to extracts ect as i take baby steps to learn the ways and wisdom from ground up)
any advice much appreciated..
