Update: I poured a bottle of Crown Royal in my 5 gal. batch when I kegged it. It has been about 10 days since I kegged it and it tastes great! I had experimented with a 12oz bottle of beer and teaspoons of Crown. (I experimented a lot). I liked the taste of 3-4 teaspoons per 12oz beer. Turned...

I brewed these kits when I first got started years ago. The guy steered you in the right direction with the malt extract instead of 2.2 pounds of sugar. Brew according to directions, let ferment for 4 weeks at 68-73 degrees. The 5oz sugar is for bottling. The beer will turn out fine. It would be...

Happens to me every brew. I use starsan as well. Bubbles are normal.

I would sanitize and use again. Of course, I'm a tight a$$.
