That looks really good.
I think something most brewers will screw up the first time(s) is the temperature.
The only info I had was the DVD that came with the Coopers kit plus the instructions on the can, so of course I pitched my first beer at 28 degrees
.
Then left it alone for a week in Summer temps.
No wonder it tasted the way it did, hehe.
It doesn't seem "right" as long as the can say to pitch at a certain temp to go that much lower but hopefully it doesn't take more than a brew or so before most of us realise that the colder we can keep the fermenter (within the temp range of the yeast) the cleaner it will taste.
thanks
