Also, would putting the DME in first, then carefully adding the boiling water before swishing reduce exposure of dme to steam and prevent rocking?

@420Honey Sounds good.

Hello Craig. I am new to brewing and really appreciate your detailed videos. I just got this kit for xmas and would like to know the best way to add some hops to the batch. I also got a Coopers european lager kit. I was thinking of adding some Hallertau hops to add a bit of aroma and taste. I will most likely sub in the dme and dextrose in favor of the enhancer myself as well. I am really curious to experiment with different yeasts etc.

@420Honey Check out my video called "Hop To It". That'll get ya going.

Hey Craig. Thank you for being a major force in getting me to begin home brewing. Your hard work is very much appreciated! I recently brewed a Brewer's Best, American Cream Ale kit. I payed extra attention to sanitization, and did not do a secondary fermentation. I left the beer in the primary for 7 days, after which i siphoned it to a bottling bucket and bottled it. It sat for two weeks and I gave it a try. The beer seems too bitter. Is this style supposed to be really bitter? Thoughts?

@1madscientist4u I'm not sure. I'm about to do that exact kit myself, so I'll be posting on how it tastes.
