Hi, First post!
I've brewed 2 Coopers beer kits already, the Mexican Cerveza and the Canadian blonde, and I'm planning on brewing the Thomas Coopers IPA tonight. I watched a video about it on craigtube, and I've done some googling and it sounds like it could use some more hops, and more fermentables. What I'm planning is:
1kg LME
1oz cascade (30 min)
1oz citra (15 min)
700 grams dextrose
~1kg Coopers hopped LME
Water to 23L
Does this sounds reasonable? I think that should put me somewhere around 6% abv, and hopefully reasonably flavorful. Should I pick up some yeast other than the one that comes with the kit? I'm going to my LHBS after work to pick up ingredients.
