Hi all, I threw a can of coopers pale ale on this morning as a quick and easy while waiting for an extract brew to boil.
I used the can of goo, 600g dextrose, 200g lme and 200g maltodextrin.
The starting gravity seemed a bit lower than I'm used to, at 1036. The wort was around 24°c when I pitched the yeast, its now sitting in a cupboard converted into an ice box with frozen bottles around it, the cupboard usually gets a brew down to about 18°c overnight.
Does anyone know what the original gravity should be for this kit and if I should up the fermentables tomorrow to try to get it higher?
Thanks for your help.
