Just finished setting up my first brew, a coopers Canadian blonde kit.
Made it with 500g extra light spray malt and 700g dextrose. The smell of the spray malt and dextrose dissolving was awesome, I wanted to drink it then!
Took the initial gravity reading as 1.038 at 24oC whig seems in the right range! Now I need to be patient!
It all seemed pretty simple to do having watched numerous videos online and read many online guides, the most annoying part was the sterilization - it seemed to take ages to soak and rinse everything! Plus my sink is a bit on the small side to negotiate a huge FV around!
I will try and post a few pics and updates over the next couple of weeks as it ferments and gets ready for bottling!
