Well first venture back into kits after 3 yrs Of AG. Doing this as I don't want the hassle of finding and making this beer in AG. Kind of a nice to try it but wouldn't make them again type things. And you lot are raving about kits so why not.
I did this kit with 500grm of Candi Syrup and 200grm of Brewers sugar.
Fermented at 21c constant, OG came out at 1.061 FG seems to be at 1.010 after 6 days it's now moved to secondary Fv for another 4 days or so.
I will note this yeast supplied with it is a very loose non compacting type yeast. Very little movement to get it moving.
Will update as this ages :thumb:
Update 28/2/12
Bottled this up today, but didn't read the instructions before mixing up my sugar I went with 50grm as I would normally bottle half batches. The instructions ask for double that :shock: either this beer type is meant to be super fizzy or it wouldn't fully ferment out leaving it sweet??
Well 1 week in the bottle and it looks like this
Not a bad pint, the wife likes it so it's a winner here
