I just bought some brewing equipment (fermenter, hydrometer, sanitizer etc.) and some Coopers kits and I have a question.
First of all, I realize that these kits aren't the best way to a perfect tasting beer.
But this being my first attempt at brewing, I'd like something easy and not very complicated.
A Coopers Lager with Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 (instead of sugar) seemed to be an ok start.
I know I'll get more of an ale than a lager.
But anyways...my question is this...
If i'd want to use Irish Moss or Whirlfloc to clear the beer....how would I do it?
Whirlfloc for instance, is normal to put in the last 15 minutes of the boil...but the Coopers kit isn't supposed to be boiled.
I guess it can ruin the taste/aroma/color or whatever.
Gelatin isn't really an option since I don't have the ability to cold crash.
So how can i use Whirlfloc on this? Or is there even any point to do so?
Can I boil water with the Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 and the Whirlfloc, and then add the can contents after boiling?
