I have just done my first batch, it tasted ok, nothing like beer I have had before, but I was told it would be different. It was really cloudy though.... here is my process...
Coopers larger kit.
Heated up the opened can in boiling water to help it pour. This, hot water and shugar are added to the bucket (primary(?)) Cool water added, and then yeast... I stirr it and put it under the stairs.
Every morning before work I stirr it and take hydrometer readings checking to see when the readings stop moving.
After a week of this...
syphoned the lager into a keg, with some more sugar and finings, waited a week and drank it all by about 14 days later.....
It was really cloudy, and not too bad to taste but I think it could be better.
What advise have you pro's got for my simple kits..
Where do I go from here ?
What is the next step from these concentrated kits... what extra equipment do I need ?
Go easy on the Jargon, I'm new to the whole scene.
