It's wet and windy on Skye today (for a change...) so what else is there to do but make beer ! So...
Brewbuddy bitter, 1.8kg + 1kg dextrose + 600g barley malt extract . Brewed slightly short to 21.5L and an OG of 1046.
First time I have done this kit so not sure what to expect.
John Bull Best Bitter, 1.8kg + 1kg dextrose + 600g barley malt extract. Again, brewed slightly short to 21.5L and an OG of 1046.
Geordie Bitter. 1.5kg + 1kg dextrose + 1kg barley malt extract. Short to 21.5L with an OG of 1052 ! This is one of my favourite one can kits, for some reason after six weeks in the barrel it just transforms overnight into a lovely, creamy and smooth beer, and just £8.50 in the Tesco sale, bargain.
I have tried the other Geordie kits, they are ok, but none come close to this.
This is the first time I have added so much malt extract, just hoping the standard 11g kit yeast can cope... Or should I add more ?
The barley malt extract came courtesy of Amazon, £11 for 2x 3.18kg tubs. Not specific to home brewing but should do the job of adding additional fermentables and flavour at reasonable cost.
I have three brews currently conditioning using this for the first time. They tasted fine on bottling/barrelling so I have high hopes...
