Hello and sorry for creating a new thread. I realise there are quite a few home brew kit threads but I couldn't find one that was totally appropriate.
I am currently doing my third home brew. The first two went without a hitch and I ended up with pretty good beers. This third one however...
Is a Belgian style ale and the instructions are a little confusing.
Basically, i'm unsure of part of the process. I added the 'gunk' in the tins (sorry i'm not very technical) to water, added the yeast. The instructions then said to wait 5 days before adding the spray malt - which I did. However, the instructions after this point are a little vague. It says to leave the brew now until the gravity is less than 1.006 (which is fine, I have a hydrometer) and then to 'bottle as normal'.
When i've bottled beer before I've always added a teaspoon of sugar per 750ml. However, I am unsure if this is necessary this time? (I don't think i've added spay malt to previous brews so i'm not sure if doing that replaces the need to add sugar in the bottling process?)
Any help would be much appreciated.
