Hi All,
I'm still very new at all this (brewing my second batch of Cooper's extract) but I'm having a great time so far. I'm too young to pretend to be sophisticated about beer, so I'll level with you all: I started homebrewing to get drunk for cheap. That said, I love the the process, and I think there's a good chance that I'll spend a lot more time on this hobby than I expected. I'm going to work my way through a few more cans of grocery store kits before I get more adventurous, so I was wondering about making my brew a bit stronger. If I tip an extra bit of sugar in with my wort extract and brewing sugar, will I get stronger beer? How much is it safe to add? Will it give me a greater chance of a spoiled batch or of bottle bombs?
On a slightly seperate topic, I've read again and again that I'll get a better brew by using glucose instead of sucrose. Is this something that an unseasoned tongue will taste? What are other ways to slowly step into the world of proper brewing without making any large investments?
