Hi,
This is my first post. I did read the stickies and beginner's guide but have a few questions.
I just bought my first Cooper's Canadian Blonde beginners kit and started my first batch a few days ago. I made a few little mistakes which I hope don't ruin my batch completely.
While boiling the water, I added my Cooper's malt early and let it boil for 20 minutes with the hops. I read after that I was supposed to add it afterwards and let it stand for 20 minutes. Will the intense heat affect the malt?
Also, I am having a problem keeping the temp down. I live in a tropical country (33 degrees all year around) and have the air con blasting in the room but the temp still says 24 degrees. Is this okay?
Any advice is much appreciated!
