I dont know how many of you are doing K & K stuff these days but heres my most recent brew:

Ingrediants:
Thomas Coopers Heritage Pilsner 1.7kg.
Rice Malt 1kg.
200gms Dextrose.
Coles Spring Water.
Heated the extract in a sink of hot water.
Disolved the Rice Malt in the fermenter in 2 litres of hot water.
Added the Dextrose and stirred in the Extract with another litre of hot water.
Topped up the fermenter to 23 Litres and pitched the kit yeast at 26 degrees.

12th Mar 2011 - 1060 again so racked to 2nd fermenter with 5 grams coopers beer finings.

9th April 2011 - Very dry beer, not much head retention big pilsner taste though. The rice malt is quite different and seeing as the weekends coming up I might re-taste some again as its over a month now.
