OK so pretty new to the home homebrew game, have my first batch of coopers lager brewing atm, and thinking about what my next batch will be.
Looking at the coopers IPA, seems pretty straight forward and planning to follow the instructions on the site and plan to use 1.7kg Thomas Coopers IPA, 1kg Coopers Light Dry Malt and 500g Dextrose.Will this be ok even if i don't dry hop it? Will i need another fermenter if i were to dry hop it? Or can i just drop the hops in the primary FV, then bottle when ready?
Also what is the OG and FG you should be aiming for with this brew, I would also be aiming for a ABV of 6-7% range, is extra yeast needed for that range?
Thanks!
