Hey guys
Been on here a bit lately asking questions and collections equipment. Well I have everything needed and will brew tomorrow. I am going to outline what I have and how im doing it. Let me know if I have something wrong.
Using an extract kit: Coopers real Ale
Hops: Pellets Cascade 50g
1.4kg Dextrose corn sugar
Two questions I have, how should I use my hop pellets, the owner told me to leave them in the fermentator. Do i need to boil before?
What do I do with all this sugar, I know it is needed for bottling to add carbonation, but how much do I add when cooking the wort?
I am making a 5 gallon batch, in a large 80 quart aluminum pot, over a propane burner which is 78,000 btu's.
I will be cooking all 5L in the pot, not putting water into the fermentator. It will all be wort. I was told when you have the space this is ideal.
I will be using the yeast that came with the kit, I would have prefererd something better but this is my first brew and im going for it.
Wort will be in a glass primary damijohn with Air lock and in 20 degree room temps away from sunlight.
Last question, to cool the work, ill be using a basic water ice batch and dropping a frozen bottle of sealed water or two into the wort, I heard can work. Everything saitized of course.
