WOW! Holy...! Thanks a ton for this awesome instructions mate! This clears up a lot for me, but of course I have some follow up questions. Regarding 1: I am a bit unsure how to use the calculator and exactly what I want to get out of it... So many fields lol. I did a test in it but I probably...

Oooh. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure it was obvious to the experienced brewer but, me being a newb I did not get it.

Honestly I am overwhelmed with great advice. Thank you! I appreciate you guys not treating my like a stupid newbie and not just telling me to read up. I have done some reasearch but as you see, I have a lot of questions anyway. I will eventually try to compile a summary of what my new thoughts/...

Thanks for tips. I do find crystal malt but not 60 EBC. I find 100 EBC for example... Any suggestions on how to figure out how much I can rehydrate in 5L? XD Sorry for the stupid questions. I am of course open to getting a bigger pot too, but I don't think a 20L pot would be ideal for our...

This sounds more promising with my current setup :D Is there any upper limit if I do a 5L boil and top it off? Like can I boil 5L, end up with a bit less and then still top it off to like 19L? Also speaking of boiling, I have seen videos but no one has ever confirmed this, the boil is without a...

Thanks for the tips ATL! Yes I think the best for me would be to boil a smaller size and then top it off in the fermenter. I am also confused by the 15min recipe. So far you guys have made me change my mind and my aim is now to create my own recipe or follow something like the 15min one. I...

Thanks palmtrees! All great tips. These US measurements are a bit confusing to me still though. 5 gallons is almost 19 litres? Whoa. I always thought I would get a way with a pretty small pot and then top it off in the end, as you suggested some people do. I believe my largest pot is only 5L or...

Thanks Moody! I can't say I was the biggest of fans of the kit, it just came with the equipment and seemed like a nice and easy starting brew. Honestly, since the comments on this thread started coming in, I have read up on the recipe that BrewnWKopperKat linked and I am way more interested in...

Thanks for the links! I will have a look. But are there any of my suggestions that you would recommend?

Thanks for the comment Miraculix! The priming tip is great. I have considered that but never found any real example of it done straight in the bottle? Is it fine to just put right in there with the brew, without dissolving it in hot water first? Because if it is, then I am definately doing your...

Hello guys! I recently brewed my first ever batch of home made beer. It was using the Coopers Lager kit which was bundled with my fermenting equipment: see here if you wanna know what it included. I live in an appartment and I am still a student, so I am for the moment not looking to "cook from...
