I've been brewing with canned extract kit's with good results and was wondering if anyone might know what i could use to give my John bull Stout batch a creamier taste....

I've used them with 5 gal batches and the were very good....I'm thinking at 2 or 3 gals of water and it may be a little to strong...most call for 6 gals.

I've used John Bull for stouts and lagers and coopers and muntons for lights and draughts and they came out great...I Used dark dry malt extracts for the stouts and light malts for the draughts and lights instead of sugar...Sometimes I split the diff and use 1lb corn sugar and 1 LB dry malt...

My 2 cents .....my SWMBO drinks light beer crap also Mic ultra is her fav (yuk...It's carbonated water with a hint of beer) but any way I just got the canned Muntons American light. It called for 2.2 pounds of corn sugar...used 1.1 of light malt and 1.1 of corn sugar and she likes it! :tank...
