Was thinking of slapping together a little Christmas beer. I usually do lagers and hefeweizens, so this is unfamiliar territory. The main online HB here in Japan is selling the Black Rock NZ Company Bitter extract kits for half price, since the expiration date is Nov 11 2018.
If I made one of these with a smaller batch size, and maybe some dark DME, and spiced it up, do you think I could get a reasonable Christmas beer out of it?
Or am I better off with a 1.5kg can of Morgan's LME? In that case, should I go with the dark or amber versions? I'm looking at a batch size of about 8-9 liters or 2.5 gallons.
