Hi All,
Just started things off for me in the beer making world with a "youngs bitter homebrew kit" One thing i'm stuck with and its probably a stupid question but would really appreciate some guidance....
I've gone through these steps as per isntructions...
1. sterlise barrel
2. fill with 3.5 litres of boiling water
3. add ingredients tin contents
4. add sugar
5. stir up and wait for 18-20 degrees
6. add yeast
7. this is where i'm a little confused on the wording...
It says "stir and then cover with lid" , does this meen seal the lid on properly to make it "air tight" or to just "cover" , i dont want to cause a beer explosion so could do witha pointer here if any one can help :)
thanks!
Ian.
