Hey guys and Gals
I am a 30 year old guy from Labrador Canada and I am a complete Homebrew Noob. I bought my first can of Coopers Canadian Blonde with a Homebrew kit today (Came with the Hydrometer, Airlock thingy, 30l Blastic bucket with lid, a 23l carboy, thermometer, siphon stuff and other things) which I will use as a starting point.
With the Coopers Kit I guess I don't need the Carboy as Secondary fermenting isn't necessary, but I will use it with future batches.
I plan on getting more involved in the brewing after a couple batches of Coopers. Our local Homebrew store is kind of crappy, the only option I had was wine or Coopers. I will update you guys in a few weeks when my first batch is done.
If anyone has any advice that will make my first batch drinkable, let me know. I have read enough to know, to not use Sugar, but to use malt extract. I will have to visit the grocery store to see if I can find that, and if not search for some Corn Sugar instead of table sugar.
Thanks in advance for any advice you will give.
Thanks,
Darren
