Well this is my second brew but the first I have posted.

Its a 1 tin Coopers Canadian Ale after starting a 2 tin Muntons Gold Pilsner on Saturday.

All equipement and ingredients minus the brewing sugar as I forgot when taking the photo. There is a 5 gallon fermenting bucket, paddle, 1 can Coopers Canadian Blonde kit and steriliser

Image

Sterilising all required equipment

Image

Coopers can mixing with 2 litres of boiling water.

Image

Stirring the can and 1kg of brewing sugar.

Image

Filling rest of bucket with cold water and added the yeast. Unfortunately had to guess the correct temp as I don’t have a thermometer. Really need to buy one, fingers crossed this brew works! I have a stick on thermometer on my other FV

Image

Final resting place for 7-10 days next to my 10 pint brewzer kit.

Didn't take hydrometer OG reading for this brew as I left the hydrometer bobbing up and down in my first one! Will make sure I take reading for FG though.

Nice pictures M, the Coopers kits have a good reputation round here so it should be a good 'un 8)
