Hi all!
After a bit of a long break from brewing beers and having a few successes with wines I decides it was time to get back on the horse and give beer another go (also to see if I was just being an idiot last time).
So I went down to wilko and got myself Tom Caxtons Real Ale, bit simpler than the last one I did mainly due to the instructions were laid out a little easier to follow.
Just got a few questions though:
I got the malt extract that says its a replacement to sugar (sorry if this seems like I'm simple but still new to it all) but getting home realise it comes in 500g and the recipe calls for 1kg so did half and half with brewers sugar. Will this effect anything? I got an SG of 1040 which is bang on according to instructions.
Also has anyone else had a go at the ale? How did it turn out for you? Any improvements you would make that it might be worth me trying?
Cheers all.
