I'm about to brew my second batch of brew in a coulpe days. Its a coopers IPA malt extract kit. The recipe calls for the malt extract and 1kg of dextrose and 500g of light DME. Should i just stick to this recipe or should i use a little more DME rather then all that dextrose and if so how much should i substitute? I have been reading the fourms and they say the less dextrose the better. So i was thinking of using less of the dextrose and adding more DME instead. I have 3lbs of muntons light DME here. My question is is it a good idea to change this recipe in the first place? And if so how much dextrose should i take out and how much more DME should i add? I want to get the best tasting beer i can get and i'm still a rookie. So any help would be great. And also the kit says leave it in the fermenter for 7 days then bottle it. But even if i get a hydrometer test that reads fermentation is complete. How much longer would be best to leave it in the fermenter without harming it before i bottle it? Thanks in advance EPS
