My brother got a nice equipment starter kit for Xmas. And a Muntons IPA kit for his first brew (pre hopped extract) . He emailed me and asked if he should substitute DME for the sugar that the recipe called for. I told him yes and also made these recomendations.
did I steer him wrong?
1 boil water
2 remove from heat add the additional DME you bought that will replace the sugar
3 return to heat
4 when it starts to boil add additional purchased hops
5 boil forty five minutes
6 add can of extract that came with kit
7 boil 15 more minutes
8 remove from heat and chill
9 transfer wort to fermenter
10 top off with cool water to reach 5 gallons
11 aerate by shaking the hell out of it
12 pitch yeast
13 inset airlock
14 ferment in the 60 to 70 degree range
15 wait
