Its brew day again!
I have the following...
2x Coopers Draught Cans (hopped - 3.75lbs/1.7kgs each)
1x 1kg Crystal Grain
50g roughly of NZ Hallertau Alpha 8.6 pellet hops. (4 weeks old).
2x packs Coopers Brewing Yeast 7g
1x Salfale s-04 11.5g
1x Muntons Standard Yeast
Firstly im not sure what yeast to use for this ale, am thinking the Salfale is better then the Coopers yeast that came with the packets?
Iv never used the crystal grain before. I think I was meant to get crystal malt? Is this the same thing, that you put in a stocking for twenty min or so? Also do I use the whole 1kg?
The hops are in the fridge in a jar, was going to add about 1oz @ 45min, 1 oz @ 5min to get more aroma. The pre hopped extract will be v.lightly hopped only I think.
Thanks heaps for any help, especially on the grain!
