Hey mate,

What sort of beer were you looking to make?

I plugged your recipe into IanH's spreadsheet and you'll end up with something about 5.8%, light in colour (EBC 5.2) and relatively mild on the hops/bitterness (IBU 22.8).

Personally speaking for this Coopers style I think you are. Canadian Blonde I think is great as per the recipe and skulled on a stinking hot day after some task like mowing lawns or given to persons not appreciative of a beer with strong flavours aromas etc.
But that's my opinion only so don't be discouraged from brewing what you want.
Cheers

I think it will be fine and tasty, I think the best thing about the blonde kit is that it has very little flavour, allows whatever you add to shine through.

Thanks for the input, I will give it a go sometime this weekend. :chug:

Got this put together on the 29th, pitched the yeast @ 20c & holding @ 20c, temp controlled. I will dry hop when I take the collar off. It sure looked and smelled terrific when I was mixing it. :super: Now comes the waiting & just as soon as I bottle this I am putting the Coopers draught together so I won't have to wait so long. :drinks:
