3. Coopers Bitter

1 Can Coopers Bitter
1 kg Dextrose
250g Light Malt Extract
250g Maltodextrin

Brewing Notes
Boiled up the fermentables, took it off the boil and then added the kit. Pitched yeast at around 30 degrees, which may have been a bad idea.

Fermentation Notes
Lid leaks now apparently. Might have to change over to glad wrap. Classy...also, rigged up quite the little cooling system. Sat the fermenter in a deep esky, filled it with water, wrapped a towel around it and I've had a small fan running on it 24/7. Kept it comfortable through 40 degree days whilst it sat in an uninsulated shed. Bloody ripper.

Well this brew was tipped, as I forgot to get my capper from my mate's house. Bugger. Seemed like it was gonna be a bloody good'un too.
