Hey Folks ,
Giving my home brew a second chance- My first coopers kit I tried and the beer tasted like green apples ( this may be acetaldehyde? ). Despite the the hydrometer reading consistently for 2 days and letting the beer ferment for 14 days at around 18 degrees celcius.
Anyways, I bought another can of Coopers IPA and the gent at the shop suggest I add some liquid malt extract (Munton's) 1.3 kg to around 20 litres of total brew.
Anyways, as it is winter in Canada by house is someowhat colder than typical basement around 15-16 degrees during the day.
Will the Ale yeast still ferment at this temperature? I have been wondering about building a heated water bath for the fermenter with an aquarium heater to keep it at 21 celcius where they recommend the beer ferments at.
Anyways let me know what you all think
