I recently bought the brewdog Punk IPA kit and it says 'Instructions provided". They were pretty vague to say the least!. I'm a bit new to the whole grain brewing technique so maybe they assume I have some sort of brewing knowledge.
Anyway the first problem was that it didnt say how long to boil for. The recipe stated what hops to add at the start middle and end but if theres no boil time how do I know when the middle and the end is ??.
I looked at other recipes and decided an hour would do the trick so made my hop additions accordingly. My OG was only 2 points off the one stated in the recipe so not bad I guess.
Next problem is that it doesnt say at all how much priming sugar to add before bottling!. Its a 20 litre brew so is there a set amount I should be adding ?.
Its bubbling away nicely in the kitchen at 20 degrees ( recipe asks for 19 but I cant get that in the house )
