My mate and I are well on track to making lots of beer.
We've done two batches of Coopers sparkling using the kit yeast. I made some changes to a few things. I started the yeast up before pitching. Used Powdered corn syrup and DLME for the first time. I'm a bit suspect about the quantity of dextrose I've added because the OG was pretty low. Only 1036 at 20 degrees and a Sparkling is meant to to have high ABV.
I followed the guide inside the pack and added 500g of DLME and 300g of dex to Batch #2 but I winged the other batch. We'll call this batch #1 and this batch had 200g of powdered corn syrup with 650g of dex.
The plan is to bottle one and keg the other.
Happy brewing
