Will be going my first brew. I have coopers IPA brewmaster selection Kit. 500grams of Muntons spraymalt light. 300-400 grams dextrose. 250grams of 2 row canada Malt.
First do these ingrediants go well together? Do i need more DME?
How long should I boil the extract, its pre hopped so I dont want to boil out any flavor
How crushed do the grains need to be? Also the women told me if the water temp for the grains is TOO hot it would leave a bad taste. What is the correct temp and how long should I tea bag em for? How much water do i need to steep the grains.
I have a large pot that can easily do a 5 gallon boil, also have outdoor propane burner that gets things heated quick.
I know im sort of all over the place here, but if someone could give me an outline of how they would go about using all these ingrediants that would help. I have done a kit boil with a friend but never used real grains or DME.
Thanks!
