I found part of a beer kit in my friends basement today.
It's all in one can.
Contents: 1.65kg (3.63lbs) of Brewing Wort - Barley and Malt and Hop Extract
The extensive directions are lost..only the abridged directions on the back of the can remain. I was hoping someone could help me fill in the gaps???!! (I know its not going to make the best beer ever, but a free can of wort is hard for me to turn down)
The can says to: Mix the can contents with boiling water and sugar.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add to cold water and add brewers yeast
I know how to take care of the rest of the process
So my main question is how much sugar and water do I combine with the can of pre-made wort?
My guess is to mix it with 1.5 gallons of water (The can says it makes 17 litres of finished beer which is around 4.5 gallons) And then put it into a 5 gallon fermenter with the appropriate amount of cool water to make a 5 gallon batch
But I have no idea how much sugar to add to the canned wort. Also I'm not sure what kind of sugar would be best to add to this canned wort.
Any suggestions out there??
I truly appreciate it
Thanks
