Modding Cooper's Lager Kit, help?
I picked up one of the Cooper's pre-hopped Lager LME cans and 1lb of golden light DME. I planned on filling out the rest of the fermentables in the brew with corn sugar (dextrose) but Im not sure how much would be TOO much... Ive heard that you can really dry out a beer by using too much and I dont want the corn sugar to make the beer taste too "hot." What would you recommend doing here?
Also, I'd like to freshen up the aroma a little since IT IS a pre-hopped kit, so do you think 5-10 mins with .5oz of some Cascade pellets would do the trick?
Thanks!
