Hi, I've just feremented a Munton's Smugglers Ale kit and the instructions suggest adding spraymalt light prior to bottling/kegging. I bottled some and the remainder went in a Corney. This was my first time using spraymalt and the kit instructions didn't offer any information on its use.
I added the spraymalt to 200ml of cold water and brought to the boil. This worked well and I didn't suffer any clumping. I transfered about 1 gallon of the wort to my bottling bin, adding the just boiled spraymalt before adding the remaining wort. I then gently stirred the mixture before bottliing/kegging. I was wary of adding the boiled syrup to an empy bin as was unsure of how the plastic would fare.
My main question, should I have allowed the spraymalt to cool before adding to the wort? Should I have done it any differenty?
It's now been 3 days since bottling and my PET bottles have hardened suggesting it worked.
Many thanks
