Hi guys,
I'm going to start my second batch of beer tomorrow and went to my LHBS today. My first batch was good but wanted to improve it by changing a few things and seeing how the two batches differed (they are both the coopers real ale kits).

Thanks-
Ben
Hey Guys, I just put away my first batch of brew to ferment and, naturally, have some questions along with it.
