Hi folks!
It's my very first brew/post!
I purchased the Coopers Australian Pale Ale kit with a 1.2kg bag of dextrose. The requirements say 500g light dry malt + 250 dextrose may be used for this 5gal batch. At the home brew store, they told me just dextrose would be fine for my first batch. If this is true, how much initial sugar do I add to the wort?
I plan on mixing the LME, dextrose and yeast in my bucket, then pouring it into my carboy so I can watch it ferment. Then I will rack it back into the bucket to add my priming sugar before bottling. How much priming sugar should I use at this stage considering I'm not going to be using light dry malt in the first stage?
Thanks in advance!
