Last year I found several good Home brewing equipment deals on Craig's List,
but for whatever reason I never got around to buying the ingredients to
make a batch of beer. One reason may be that the nearest home brew
store is well over a hundred miles from my house. A couple of months ago
my sister drove by a home brew store and decided to stop to buy a kit.
She ended up getting a Coopers Dark Ale( Hopped Beer Kit),2 Lbs of
Muntons Plain amber Malt Extract and 5 oz of corn sugar. The guy who
sold her the kit told her not to follow the directions if I wanted to make a
good batch of beer. He then provided her with some instructions on how to
make the batch. Unfortunately my sister would lose her rear end if it wasn't
tied on and she managed to misplace the directions. And the place is closed
down so she can't get another set of directions.
I've been digging through the posts on this board trying to find some info.
I lot of the posts deal with adding hops or otherwise tweaking the kit
to get a little different result. I've even checked on youtube to see if I
could find some info. I would appreciate it if some of you experts could
point me in the right direction. I have all of the equipment Carboy,buckets
etc.. I also done some other research on the net and the instructions
on the kit seem to be totally different from most of the brewing procedures.
Thanks
