I'm about to brew a Simply (Richie’s) Brown Ale (1.8kg kit).
I haven’t got a 25l fermenter yet, so am going to split the bag (keeping half in the fridge) and do two 10l brews.
I’m looking for ideas on how to pimp them up with what I have available.
I’ve got 500g medium DME (the obvious choice?) but also extra dark DME, extra light DME, and wheat DME.
I also have pale LME (but 1.2kg pouch so reluctant to open), and some crushed malt;
500g each of Amber, aromatic, caramalt and golden promise and a little crystal 60 and dark chocolate.
I also have golden syrup, black treacle, various kitchen sugars and 1kg dextrose.
I have EKG and fuggles to dry hop with too.
So, what would you do?
