cheers, ill give it a try. Just wasnt sure what to replace the sugar with, and how much to use etc. Im using Coopers canadian blonde kits at the minute Grinder.....

Just learning the basics at the minute and it seems easier this way, ill get to that once i can perfect the kits!

I normally brew using a kit and 1kg of brewing sugar (this is know as dextrose?), was just wondering what u can do to get a better taste. Ive heard people say they use malt extract or honey. Would this produce a better beer? If so what type of measurements would you use in place of the...

Just looking for some recommended Beer kits for beginners. Currently have a single fermenter which i will use for primary and secondary fermentation. Then want to transfer to a S30(think thats right) king keg to carbonate. Would i be better of making ales rather than lagers with the above...

haha thats if i manage to get it right. My first brew went to crap, saying that i did add 2kg of sugar....

just went for 1kg of brewing sugar this time, ill see how it turns out and if its no good i think ill try the same lager again but go with your suggestions instead

Alrite. Just bought some of this and need some help. Doesnt say how much sugar to add when adding the contents of the can to the fermenter. What would be a good or normal amount? 1kg?

ive got some random old plastic barrel, guess ill go with sugar option. Bearing in mind this is Ale, how much sugar do i need to add???

cool. how do you go about forcing it then? Also, what would be a good amount of time to leave it in the barrel for? i was thinking a month?

my plan was to leave it in there for around 1-2 weeks, then add to a pressurised barrel. I'll wait longer and check the gravity as suggested though, thanks. To carbonate it i need to add a little more sugar, before adding to the barrel, right?

nope didnt bother :D

alrite. Bought some milestone home wrecker ale a while ago and lost the instructions. Started brewing last friday and its been in the fermentor since then, not sure when to barrel it though, any ideas? Also do i need to add anything else before barrel? I have a hydrometer if that helps.
