i bought a couple of kits online at a certain homebrew shop i wont mention and they are practically out of date...i got a brupaks special lager kit which includes the yeast,hops and canned extract and the yeast is like 2 months out of date
..its a sachet of saflager s 23 yeast..and the canned extract use by date is next month,the hops included are like rock hard pellets of rabbit sh@t so it all doesnt look to fresh so i was gonna get some fresh yeast and hops and use the canned extract up and i just wanted some advice on the quantities to use:
so i was gonna get some new yeast dunno about the saflager yeast as its starting to get to warm here so i was gonna get some muntons premium yeast
im also thinking of adding 1 kg of muntons beer enhancer and 500g of dme
what hops would i use and how much would i add for that amount of beer enhancer and dme to balance it out...
also would the beer enhancer and dme extract increase the abv much...the kit is supposed to turn out between 4.0 and 4.3
cheers!
