Coopers Canadian blonde with coopers brew enhancer 2 1kg Coppers American pale ale using 1kg of brewing sugar I want to break away from 'pot noodle' beers and adding a bit of my own dynamic but being a real new starter it's a bit confusing

Using kits still with 1kg of brewing sugar from a Homebrew shop

I am a new Brewer, so far I have made 2 batches using 1kg of brewing sugar I am led to believe I can use malt in place of sugar Do I replace the same quantities of malt as sugar , 1kg of sugar becomes 500g of sugar and 500g of malt ?? I have made lager and pale ale and would like to master...

You are a legend Can I be rude and attach myself to you for advice ?? How do I make the priming solution and how much do I add etc Just bottled pale ale with twice as much carbonating drops as an experiment I guess early days are all about trial and error

I will try 2 in 500ml I would prefer too much fizz in a lager rather than it being a bit flat With 1 the lager had bubbles and a head but these lasted only a minute or 2 Any more advice on bottling and carbing please keep me up to date

2 weeks They are conditioning in a garage after I was told that cooler conditions are better for lager Too early to sample ?

Thanks I will try 2 and see what happens , trial and error I guess !!! Lager is boxed in a garage, I was told cool temperature will clear the drink better

It was 2 weeks old The bottles are boxed in a garage so quite cool which I was told helped clearing lager Thanks, I will try 2 drops and hope that helps

I am totally new to home brew and a true novice I used coopers carbonation drops on a lager , it says one per 375ml bottle but I have 500ml bottles The early samples seem flat Any advice on how many to use How long to leave it I want to use glass bottles on the next attempt and worry...
