Hello all, I am a newb and was looking for advice on using my All American pressure cooker pot until I can get a stainless steel pot.
I only have a 8 qt SS Pot and was hoping this (aluminum 22qt pot) would work. What do you think and if it will work what would be some of the pros/cons?
I bought a bucket kit with a glass carboy (secondary) I plan on using all glass in the future but while I learn this will have to do.
I am also using a cream ale kit. Now it came with the coopers LME. Which I have heard negative remarks here about this due to the fact it is only 3.3lbs. Yet it also came with 2lbs of DME, I hope this is enough, but most recipes call for six right?
Anyway I plan on using less bittering hops (than provided) at mid boil and a little finishing hops for aroma. I am also adding blackberry extract to the secondary to hopfully have a black berry cream stout.
I also plan on becoming a "true" member here to make a log with pics to better inform you experts out their and hopfully get some great tips on my methods.
ALL input and advise is much appreciated. Thanks in advance
