I could not find any white sugar in my kitchen so I used medium spray malt to prime my pressure barrel. Even 100g has imparted a toffee-like flavour to my beer. It's been in barrel for three weeks now; will it mellow or should I ditch it?

A caramelly toffee-like flavour in your beer could be what is described as 'twang'. There are several threads on this forum about that, look it up, with many theories as to what causes it. My favourite is cheap or old LME, but I have found the few Muntons kits I did suffered from it even the Wherry kit, thats why I stopped doing them. Perhaps that's the causeMuntons IPA.... a toffee-like flavour to my beer...I'd not done this kit before
