Still on the kits but here goes anyway!

Started it this afternoon whilst I had peace and quiet

Coopers Premium Bitter with Muntons Light Spray Malt.



Yeast Starter




Decided to boil the Coopers Kit (doesn't look to healthy?)



Nearly there



Aerated Wort



SG reading at 24oC



In the fermentation bin



Starting to bubble away nicely after a few hours



Any suggestions on an alternative to sugar when it comes to priming???

Will post more photos as things progress!

Cheers

sugar is fine, try a soft brown sugar for different tastes, messing with small quatities of dry malt is a faff, there are carbonation drops but better for bottling but expensive compared to sugar.

Thanks I will give that a go!

Is about 80g of brown sugar about right?

Here's the wort after about 18 hours.

bang on

The fermentation is well underway!
