I'm waiting for the answer ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 You’ll want some more fermentables in there, probably should have got 3 x 1 pound packs of the DME for 23l (~6 gallons) or 2 for 19l (5 gallons). If you don’t have another to hand and you already have it on, then put 500g (1 pound) normal sugar in if you’re only doing it to 19l.. I definitely would be trying to avoid the regular sugar with that kit as it’s meant to be full bodied, and the sugar will take away from some of that. Cheers, Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The kit and malt extract will produce alcohol as well, you don't need normal sugar for that. 450g malt extract isn't much though, at that rate it'll turn out a mid strength. I'd be adding another pound of extract and maybe half a pound of normal sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
