Hello

[Pazza]

Just a quick hello, never tried home brewing before so looking for good advice from seasoned folk.
As I type I have a Coopers Stout 21l (with 1kg brewing sugar, 500g medium spraymalt 1058 OG) and a Wilko cervesa 22l (1kg brewing sugar, 500g light spraymalt 1056 OG) cooling before I add the yeast so fingers crossed!:drink:

Welcome, I will personally suggest that you don't keep opening up your FV's (fermenting vessels) to take gravity readings every couple days as you risk infection.

Follow the 2-2-2 method
2 weeks in primary - check gravity reading has gone down to what the yeast your using should - if so bottle or keg ( if bottling batch priming in another barrel will be easiest)
2 weeks in a warm location to carb up( not in direct sunlight)
2 weeks in a cool location to infuse the carbon dioxide in ya brew so you don't just fizz when it's opened
