1st batch of beer

[yahoo]

Hi everyone,

I couldn't really find this info in the posts so here's my question.
Using the recipe in the handout that came with the caps I'm currently
brewing some coopers wheat beer. Does beer ferment at the same rate
as mentioned in the sheet? It says to wait a week but a week usually
corresponds to 12% alcohol for juices. I don't really want 12%
alcohol beer as I've tasted some before and they just taste bad with
such high alcohol content. I would prefer more like 6-8%. Has anyone
measured the alcohol level from EZ Caps beer after a week?

Another question I had is; if I filter the beer/wine that I make with
a coffee filter, will that sufficiently remove the yeast and allow for
storage at room temp (after bottling of course)?

Thanks ahead of time.
