unfortunately yes, i wasn't at the time and did only add the 1kg LME, i took an alcohol reading yesterday and it will be pushing a 3% abv, I've dry hopped yesterday as tasting suggested little body or flavour, there is still some fermentation happening, probably too late i suppose to add some...

Thanks for replies, fermenting nicely now, will let you all know how it turns out:thumb1:

Hi Terry, the SUMA LME was just over £13 for 3kg and i have amazon prime so no delivery charge so probably a little cheaper however not sure about quality etc.
