I have just put my second brew into the fermenter and this time round I did things differently instead of trying to add the kit into the fermenter with 2 liters of boiling water and the 2lb of dextrose then stirring it all in I decided to try doing it all on the stove in my big stewing pot and found everything mixed better. Now to get my butt back on topic I used this recipe I found on the internet to see what it will come out like it is meant to be like an Irish Ale. the brew makes 21 liters
Added into the pot
water (heated of course)
1.7kg real ale kit (I used Lion breweries brand I am sure any will do)
1.0Kg Dextrose
300 grams golden syrup (diluted in hot water)
Only on stove long enough to get ingredients mixed up properly.
Reduced wort temp to 20C(recommended temp) by topping fermenter upto 21 liters with cold filtered water before adding yeast.
SG is 1051(actual hydrometer reading)
target FG is 1012 - 1009
estimated online brew calculator says that I should be getting an alcohol % of 6.8 once fermented and conditioned in the bottle.
