I recently started doing canned kits, prior to this I was doing wort in a bag kits.
The guy at the brew shop told me to put ldme in the kit instead of dextrose to make a better beer.
My first kit I added 2lb of ldme & 1lb of dextrose to the 1.8 kg canned kit og 1.044 and at 4 wks I had an fg of 1.014 giving me 3.9% abv.
Second kit I used 1kg of amber dme and 200g of dextrose added to 1.9 kg canned kit og 1.042 and at 4 wks the fg was 1.015 giving me 3.5 abv.
Am I not adding enough fermentables? I am not trying to make rocket fuel I just want to be around 5%
