Hi folks
Been lurking for a while and it's now time to show my lack of knowledge. Hope to have a fermentation fridge up and running in a week or so and have been given some kits as presents. Here's my thoughts and questions.
Woodfordes Wherry kit. Brew as per instructions but replace yeast as it's out of date.
Coopers Stout kit. Would like to add some coffee notes. Have some vanilla Nespresso capsules left. How many would it take to make a difference.Would DME be better than brewing sugar.
Finally Geordie Scottish Export kit. Would like to attempt some thing like an 80/- using (cold) steeping grains. Which malts to use and how much to use and again DME or brewing sugar.
Look forward to your suggestions
