This is my second time brewing this kit and it still has a really fruity flavor to it. Is this just how the kit tastes? I did 3.5 weeks in the primary at 65 f, bottled, and let them sit for 6 weeks in the bottle. The flavor is still far too fruity for me. The first time around I didn't pay...

I'm on my second brew now and have a few questions regarding my 1st and 2nd brew. I decided to use the Cooper's Australian Lager extract kit again. I only wanted to change a few variables at a time as I flesh out my process. My first brew turned out alright. It was very clean, clear, and...
