I am about to brew my second batch of beer, and I am already in the mood to experiment. The problem is that locally I can only get Coopers beer kits (Hopped LME). I am still trying to find a store in Canada that will ship DME, hops and yeast so that I can be more creative.
Anyways, the instructions say to use one can and some dextrose. I didn't like that idea, so I'm using two cans and no sugar. My first batch (bottled last week) was 1 can of Dark ale and 1 can of Bitter. This time I bought 1 can of Real Ale and 1 can of Bitter. I was wondering what I could do. I will boil for an hour. Can I add some of the extract near the end of the boil to get more hop aroma? Or does that theory go out the window with hopped LME.
Any thoughts would be great.
