I know this has probably been asked 100 times and I apologize. I just picked up my first brewing kit last night and have a question on the Coopers Austrailian Pale Ale liquid malt extract that I'm going to use on my first brew.
The instructions say all you need to do is put it in the fermentation bucket and add some boiling water & fermenter but I have read elsewhere that you need to boil this along with the fermentation suger before adding to the bucket. Which is correct? FYI, this is already hopped extract.
Also, my local supplier said to add a full 3lbs of DME to the liquid malt extract even though the Cooper instructions say to add about 2lbs. Again, am I going to screw this up if I add the extra pound of DME?
