This recipe sounds great.... thanks a lot! I'm definitely going to give it a try. Just a quick question. What kind of color is the final product? I'm not concerned about it... just curious.
Hello all,
A friend of mine gave me a 4lb can of Cooper's lager (pre-hopped) liquid malt extract (LME). I am not a big fan of lager, and I don't have the yeast or cooling equipment to make a real lager. I'm guessing this Cooper's can is just a basic light LME with some unknown bittering hops...
Thanks wonderbread23. For the heck of it, I might steep about 2lbs of malted barley and add 1lb of sugar. I like drier beer... and I have no idea how this "kit" will come out... so half the sugar (the rest steeping) sounds like a compromise.
Hello all... I am new to this forum, and new to the world of beer brewing (though I have experience with making wine and whiskey). I've been doing a lot of research and gathering the necessary equipment for some decent brewing. But I want to start small and learn from the mistakes I will...
