Hi,
I'm about to brew my first batch after a few years away from the brewing pot. I'm starting with LME. I have a 1.5 kg jar of pale ale extract, about 0.5 kg of crushed wheat grains and a bag of yeast. The guy I got it from said I should add 1kg of sugar to the extract, but the last time I used sugar in a cook, the beer tasted funny. My question is: will it taste better with a1 kg of honey instead or is the sugar crucial to the LME brew?
Thanks
Dani
