So, a well intentioned but unkowing friend gives me a single can of Coopers Mexican Cerveza extract beer kit (allready hopped). The picture on the can's label makes me think that it is meant to make something along the lines of a Corona. What I basically want to do is "turn" it into a partial mash recipe/kit.
It calls for a kilogram of brewers sugar wich I will be replacing with probably 2 & 1/4 pounds of light DME ( 1kilo = around 2&1/4 pounds). I will also be replacing the dry yeast packet with some kind of liquid yeast.
My questions to all of you are: What suggestions would you have to improve this kit? What kind of yeast should I use? What, if any, grains could I add to help improve the kit? Should I add more hops and what kind?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
