Hi
Another newbie here.
I am most likely going to ask a question that has been answered a hundred times so I apologize.
I recently purchased a beer making kit, this one in fact
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00AYIYYYQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
I went to the local brew shop here and all they had were bunch of Coopers kits and being a fan of wheat beer I decided to pick it up and try it out.
I also have 500g of dry malt extract and 300g of dextrose ready as the side of the can says to add this for best results.
Now I have read many fourms including this one and I can't seem to find a solid answer on the process of this.
My understanding through reading these forums is the Coopers kits are a no boil extract, correct?
Now my questions are:
Do I need to boil the DME and dextrose at once? Does it need to be a 60min boil?
Do I need to add the extract into the boil?
If not, do I just put it into the fermenting bucket and pour the hot dme and dextrose liquid over top and mix?
Once fermented in the bucket, does it need a secondary fermenting? If so how do I go about doing this? adding more dextrose or just leave as is?
Thank you for all your help in advance.
