Hi all.
I have recently become interested in brewing beer, and decided to start with a coopers kit in order to get eased into the process. I have always loved honey lager, so I went out and bought a Coopers Original Lager kit,and am hoping that I can turn it into a tasty honey lager. I do require some advice, however, in regards to how much honey (pasturized, white) to use- and if any other fermenting agent should be used in addition. I have heard that maltodextrine adds head retention and body to the beer, so with that in mind, and based on the amount of honey used in a coopers strawberry blonde recipe, does this sound reasonable?
500g honey
200g maltodextrine
Thanks
