hi all ,
i bought a slightly out of date tooheys special lager kit from my lhbs and i plan to tweak it a bit. i have some styrian goldings dried hops.
i thought i might add to the kit ; 500g light dme, 1kg dextrose, and about 40grams of the hops placed in a muslin bag and put in the fermenter from the start.
also thought i might discard the out of date yeast sachet and use some coopers ale yeast i have.
i'd like to get a very light , hoppy style beer with a bit of strength to it (maybe 4.5 - 5%)
i've never dry hopped before, is this the best way?, or would i be better to boil them in the muslin bag and pour the liquor in.
any suggestions welcomed, thanks.
