I got the Coopers Kit last Christmas and I brewed the Lager that came with it pretty much by the book and it came out pretty good.
For my birthday I was given the Coopers Dark Ale kit so I decided to tweak things a bit. I went down to the local brew store for the first time and I was totally overwhelmed by the selection. One of the guys working there helped me pick out some stuff:
2lbs sparkling amber DME
nottingham brewing yeast
1Oz U.K. Kent Golding Hop Pellets
So I'm replacing dextrose in the kit with the DME and swapping out the yeast but what should I do with the hop pellets? (by the way this will be my 2nd batch so I'm still pretty new)
