Hi,
I have been told on this site that I should be adding aprox 2 lbs of corn sugar to the wort mix. FYI - I am making my first batch which is a hopped, no-boil kit, Coopers Lager. I c all my local Home brew shop an they said I can use Dextrose instead and that I can get it from them. Just curious on the differences.
Also, I have an airlock, I am using a food grade pail on my first batch and its a 23 litre batch and should have about 3-4 inches of headroom. Will an airlock suffice or should I use a blow off for the first few days? If so do I switch to the airlock after the activity has slowed?
Thanks
Dave
