First of all: I never, ever made a canned kit... So no experience whatsoever there.
Still I've got a question.
I got two kits from a friend who got them because he loves beer and people thought it would be a nice gift for him. But he will never make them. So he gave them to me like maybe you can do something with this...
I know i can tinker on kits, use extra grains, hops and so on, and that is of course the obvious route to go. Dunk some frozen raspberries or forest fruits or strawberries in the Brewferm wheat for second fermentation and go... I will probably do that anyway.
But most of those blasted kits are for 23 liters :| (I know the Brewferm wheat is for 15 liters yes) Which is way more than i make usually so all my equipment is made for 10 liters...
Therefore my question: would it be possible to make say 12 liters with a 20 or 23 liter kit. Then transfer that for secondary so i would bottle 10 liters at the end? (trust me, the math works out). Or would i go horribly off flavour.
With the wheat i probably would dare this coming from 15 liters. But with the bulldog four finger jack APA?
I would love to hear some experiences and opinions....
