    beginners kit dissapointment

    That is besides the malt coming with the kit. Coopers recomments 500g Light Dry Malt + 300g Dextrose, so I used 1.5LME wheat instead of the 300gr dextrose..... Thanks for all your comments!

    fermentation interruptus

    Hi I am receiving a visit in 2 days and I have to move the beer(fermentor) which has been already 4 weeks in the fermentor. Could I move the fermentor for a week to a colder place and then put it into bottles after that week or that change for a week to a colder place could affect the beer?
