hi there,
I got two brewing kits from a friend. It's muntons "nut brown ale" and "mexican cerveza". each can was paired with a can of muntons light malt extract
this is my first time brewing from extract, by now I only did all grain brews.
first question that I want to ask is about the yeast that I have gotten with the kits. it's some kind of no name yeast packed in a small 6 grams bag.
I really don't want to use it because I'm not sure what it is, and even if it is alive.
what yeast do you suggest for these two beers?
second thing I'm not sure is this mexican cerveza - is it top or bottom fermenting beer? what is it like?
third thing: maybe someone have a good tutorial for extract brewing
(I know it sounds weird, but I started with all grain and never tried extract, so I'm quite a noob with extract brewing)
thanks!
