I bought a few used items today and I am chomping at the bit to try SOMETHING even if it isn't GREAT. I have a can of EDME microbrewery series red ale prehopped malt extract, and a can of bierkeller premium german malt extract.AND I have all the equipment to do a batch of beer I THINK. The guy I got it from said to mix the two together and skip the corn sugar ( got a big factory sealed bag of that also) Boil em in a couple of gallons of water, let that cool .....in the meantime put 2.5 gallons of cool ( boiled then cooled down) water either in the fermenting bucket or in the glass carboy. Add the dissolved extract to the cool water and when it gets to 75 degrees or so add in the yeast ( started of course but which packet? from the red ale or the german extract?) Let it ferment then rack to a secondary...after it has set a few weeks, dissolve 3/4 cup of corn sugar in a half gallon of water and put in a bottling bucket and rack the beer into that, then bottle.....
OK will this make swill or will it be drinkable? What would YOU do with it?
