Second Batch

The second batch is Coopers 40 pint Canadian Blonde with 1 Kg Munton Beer Enhancer added in place of sugar.

Initial Temperature: 24C
Original Gravity: 1030+

I had trouble reading the OG due to putting the hydrometer into the barrel and not being able to read it properly. Next time I'll have to use a glass container. The reading was at least 1030, probably about 1033. I'm not sure how well mixed the sugar was either! All in all a bit of a waste of time. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this better.

First Tasting

I tried the first batch on Friday, was impressed and promptly ordered a second starter kit, so I can have one barrel on the go while drinking from the other! I also ordered Coopers lager kit to try a different beer. All in all a good start!
