Notes
-
Experiment to see what an almost unchanged kit beer tastes like. Brew 92 is similar except using Coopers (more expensive) product
instead of the supermarket brand.
-
Wort was slightly weaker than Coopers—why? More water in the extract?
-
Wort was also too basic; you'd think they could have got that right.
