    Alphanumeric "pricing gun" as labeler?

    Coopers European Lager Kit with Ale Yeast?

    26C too high?

    Hi folks, I just made my first ever batch two days ago, a Coopers English Bitter, made with 500g LME and 500g dextrose plus the kit yeast, and it's fermenting nicely, though where I have my fermenter, the strip thermometer is showing a steady 25-26C. Temp was 24C when yeast was pitched...
