Going to throw this kit together, with 1.3 KG of light LME and maybe dry hop with and oz of Saaz. Never made this kit before; never made anything other than Ales before.

I won't have trouble finding a spot to ferment cool enough (comes witha true pilsner yeast). What I don't have is the abilty to lager after it's fermented. What's the consensus on this one? Should I treat it like an Ale and bottle after 14 or so days with a steady SG? Can I leave it in primary for 3-4 weeks at 12-14 celsius? Am I overthinking this? Any input would be great!

Thanks Union. So ferment all the way out in my bucket, then find my coldest spot to lager in a carboy for a couple weeks? Then bottle condition as per usual? As it's a Cooper's, I'm assuming they've dumbed it down enough so that backwoods rejects like me can still get a decent beer out of it no matter how badly it's botched.

Get caught up in trying to do it (brewing) in the "right, modern way.... But really, I think brewing is like having kids eh? People pulled it off for 1000's of years before science told us how we should be doing it.
