Hi All,
Bit of a noob question even though I've been brewing for a while.
I'm doing a Geordie Lager kit again soon, and I want to ramp up the flavour.
Bear with me, I know it's quite a plain, low grade kit BUT...
I got the kit cheap, and I want to add 1KG BKE and 500g light DME + bittering hops and aroma dry hop. What do I do? I imagine I could mix the dme with water and do a mini boil but I haven't done one before.
Which hops should I use, and how much?
I have done this kit before, short to 20L with 1KG BKE and it's ok but very bland and hardly any discernible bitter aftertaste at all!
Help me please :) , I will get on the AG train soon, brew shed pending.
