Santa got me my first brew kit a few weeks ago but I have to wait until Christmas to use it, in the mean time I'm reading like crazy and probably taking in too much info and changing my plans several times
I have a kit containing Coopers Lager, yeast and Beer Enhancer 1, since that arrived I also got ambitous by reviewing a bunch of recipes and I bought 1kg (2.2 lbs) of Muntons Light Dry Malt and 1 oz of cascade hops.
Part of me thought "just make the basic Coopers recipe", the other part thought "go ahead and kick it up a bit". I would like to kick it up a notch, but nothing crazy.
So, not sure what to do with the Muntons DME now, I thought I had a recipe all figured out but I think I'm taking in too much info while I sit and wait.
Any guidance on how to work that into a recipe would be great.
I've got the extract brewing processes down and I'm on solid ground thru all the reading and online videos, it's just the recipe side that I'm overwhelmed by.
