Oh man, that's brutal! I really hope the beer works out for you!

General rule of thumb is 2/3 - 3/4 cup of corn sugar in 2 cups of water for a 5 gallon batch usually

Haha I totally agree. I was surprised to see how fast that guy got out!

That's insane!

-21C here in southern Ontario. Nice and chilly lol

I've done two cooper kits so far, an ipa and an ale (in primary). I've looked into the kits from brewers best but they are almost twice as much as the coopers. Id love to try one of there kits but they're kind of pricey. Maybe I'll do one when the ales finished. The first beer I made was all...

Thanks for being patient with me lol. It's obviously a lot to take in when your new to this but you definitely helped. Thanks so much!

Sorry, this is all very new to me. I used 1kg dextrose with 2 litres of water and used the whole can of the LME (1.7kg). I hope this helps

I didn't use grain, just the canned ipa. I added the dextrose, then the coopers kit, waited for a slow boil, added some hop pellets, let it mix all together. Poured water in the primary, dumped in the wort. Topped up to 23 litres and stirred it. Then steeped some more hops inside the wort for a...

Wow I didn't even realize that could happen. Maybe that's why it seemed off. Thanks!

How would you calculate the expected OG? Thanks a lot for your help by the way

I made sure everything was mixed properly

The ipa was my first ever batch. The OG was 1.035 and FG was 1.006. If I did the calculations right it was 3.8% abv. I also used tap water with that batch. Could it have been that?

Alright, thanks for the feedback. The last batch I made was the coopers ipa with additional hops, but it came out to roughly 3.8% which is really low for an ipa. Im thinking I pitched the yeast to late or the temperature was a little high, not 100% what happened. I didn't want the same thing to...

Ok, i thought so. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks

Anybody?

I made the coopers ale a little while ago and it called for something like 23 litres, I can't remember what it actually was, but I only put 20 in there. Is it vital that it's exact to the recipe? does less water mean more alcohol? Im new to homebrewing, It's probably a stupid question but im...
