hey Gonzo, maybe try putting them somewhere a little warmer, and give them another couple of weeks, i'm sure they'll come up fine

My mate and I are new to home brewing, and we started a brew of Cerveza on the weekend. We chucked in the coopers cerveza can, 1kg of coopers brew enhancer 2, 1kg of coopers brewing sugar, and a few grams of Amarillo hops. She seems to be running steadily at 20 degrees celsius.
However, after reading up on it, I seem to think we weren't meant to add the brewing sugar. Anybody want to confirm this? Also, how do you think it will affect the beer? Any advice will be really appreciated
my cerveza turned out great pity i had to put it in PET bottles i didnt have glass ones.
Tastes good but im a little worried that there isnt enough fizz in any of my beers that i have made at the moment i have them in foam boxes above the cement floor an after 2 weeks some only have tiny bit of carbonation the others heaps, and the one i bulk primed isnt fizzy enough probly didnt put enough sugar in it,
Bottled mine today, and I have some questions:
Is she meant to be so orange? (this is the first time I've bottled in glear glass)
Keep those clear bottles out of the light(in a box until fridging).[/color]
His saying drinking wise mate, as in he hasnt conditioned it yet.
I am saving my cervaza for the summer.

Actually the kit uses tetra and sylvan which are light-stable and won't skunk in clear bottles, as long as you don't add any other hops. So clear bottles are fine.
If you read this post cognosis states that he added hops so my original statement is valid
Ive done this one before, when I first started brewing this year picked up 2 cans for $8. I did the first one with a kilo of dextrose came out very clear and very light. My only concern was it did not hold a head. I have taken my concern to my HBS he thought it was my glasses, but when I tried my ESB IPA it held head all the way down and it laced the glass (and that was done with goo and dextrose, nothing else). Again I tried CMC in same glass as my next drink and still no head.
I am planning to another brew this time using brewiser liquide brewing sugar (plus a little hersbrucker hop), will this give more head than dextrose?
put in some 65C water for about 45 mins then boiled for 30 mins with a bit of kit goo or dry malt (maybe about 100g or so), and you can boil up your hops for the last 15 mins of the boil to add some aroma
