Ok so I'm planing on brewing my first batch this weekend. I bought my supplies from local brew shop with the help of one of the customers.
I bought a 3.75lbs can of Coppers Australian Ale. The guy that help me recommended that I also buy 3lbs of Muntons (powdered) and 2oz Cascade hop pellets to add to the extract. So the directions that came with the coopers says to boil 2 liters of water and add extract with any other fermentables. Is this when I should add the Munton? Should I add 1/3 of the hops at this time as well? How long in between adding the rest of the hops? Should the wort still be boiling? Or simmering? How long should I boil or simmer for? Should I strain out hop pellets when still hot?or cold? I need direction.....HELP. I'm sorry for all the dumb questions but these directions are Terrible and not clear at all. I also watched the vids in the forums but that guy was brewing with grains and didn't mention times and temps.
Thanks,Pete
