OK so I am new to home brewing and new to the forums. I just ordered the newer Coopers DIY Home Brew kit and it should be here Friday. I am trying to read and learn as much as I can before I start my first batch. I plan to start Monday night if all goes well and I wanted to run my plans by you guys to see what you think.
I will follow the instructions and sanitize everything first. Then I will use all spring water and the lager kit that came with it. I am pretty sure I can do all of that with no real trouble. My main questions are about timing. I plan to leave the wort in the primary fermenter for two weeks, then using 2 of the carbonation drops per bottle, bottle the batch and let it sit for another two weeks. After that I will move it to my fridge and let it sit for another two weeks.
Does this sound like a good plan or maybe over kill. I want to let it age properly and do its thing. Does anyone else that uses Coopers kits have any suggestions?
Thanks and
