Wilko wheat beer

[ScouseBrew]

I'll be starting this soon, one can kit and 500g wheat spray malt. I was thinking of buying some of that polish syrup too. Question is, home much and when does it go in?

Cheers

I put 1 bottle of lowics raspberry syrup in my last wilko wheat beer and think next time I would use 2.

Thanks for that! Did you at it at the same time as the yeast or after fermentation?

I put it in before the yeast. If I remember correctly there's 225g of sugar in a bottle so best to ferment it out.

Was there a noticeable raspberry flavour..and was it pink? Syrup from the supermarket or polish shop?

I used 1 bottle of the lowics syrup. It wasn't pink and it didn't taste much of raspberry. It had a sharp taste rather than fruity. It was very nice just not what I was expecting.
I've used 4 bottles in turbo cider and that was very pink and raspberry

So 5 bottles is roughly 1.1 kg of sugar. What's that about an extra 2%.

...not getting hammered for research purposes are you?

No I'm in work. I have photos of my beers. How sad.
