Hello from Poole,Bournemouth UK
I have recently started my second batch of coopers lager as an apparently easy starter lager. Like a fool i forgotot to put the sugar in with the wort but did everything else by the book. I acted fast with nothing to lose and mixed the sugar with warm water in the wort tin and poured it into the bucket and an hour later rolled the bucket on its side gently to mix the sugar in. I wasnt sure waht to do but the air trap is bubbling away at least once every second now (this is just 1 later) and i am already getting a lovely lager scent with every glub glub glub from the air trap. Am i right in thinking my brute force and ignorance may have served me well this time round. Please tell me i wont be tipping 5 gallons of pure nastiness down the toilet. Thanks folks.
