So I put my first batch of beer into my fermenter yesterday.
The kit that I bought was a 3.75lb can of malt extract (Australian Bitters BeerMakers brand) from Safeway which makes 23 L of beer. Instead of using the 1Kg of dextrose that the kit called for, I followed Charlie Papazian's advice and used a second can of extract. The SG was 1.050 when all mixed up, and it smelled fairly strong.
What do you guys think? Will I have a drinkable product when I'm done? Should I have used the Dextrose instead of the 2nd can of malt? This is a bit of an experiment and I'm early on the learning curve so if it doesn't work out, c'est la vie.
Thanks for your responses.
