Hi all,
Well a few weeks back I did my first ever brew, and I think it turned out *OK*, but I certainly want to improve on it this time around. Using straight Coopers brewing sugar made it very thin in body, and to be honest it had a slightly weird taste (perhaps only because I am not used to homebrew goodness!)
Either way, a couple of people came to visit and a lot were polished off so it can't be all that bad. To my taste it was not fantastic, they were none the wiser
So this time around I have purchased a Coopers Real Ale and 500g bag of DME, and I also have a spare can of Bavarian Lager and 1KG of BE1. Any ideas as to how I could make something rockin' out of this? I'm thinking Real Ale + full bag of DME, or can I also throw in the BE1? I'm not quite sure what to make with the parts I have
Any advice appreciated, and lets hope this sucker turns out even better!
