Geewhizz Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Good morning folks, Have just bought some Light Dry Malt and a 1kg Brew Enchancer to attempt my second ever brew - the first one was alright a couple of years ago, we just threw in some brewing sugar, but thought this time I'd do a bit of research and hope for a tastier beer. To the point though, the packs are both missing any instructions as to how to mix - I don't want to cock it up before even starting. All the recipes on this site just say "See top flap" but there's nothing on mine.. Anyone able to take a snap of the instructions from their box? Appreciate any help Geewhizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB7 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Welcome @Geewhizz Boil some water (1-2 ltrs), tip into fermenting vessel, drop in LDM & BE, swirl to help dissolve (lumps aren't an issue), throw in your can and stir while filling to half quantity with water (cold tap water). Monitor the temp & add some warm/cool water to get desired quantity (22-23 litres usually) & yeast pitching temp (depends on yeast type, but around 22-23°C is good. Lid on, keep around 22°C for 6 days (average). Check gravity until steady over 2 days. Bottle/keg and you're done . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes have a can and the enhancers, it's an old can so bought a new sachet of yeast. Following a recipe I've seen on here, fingers crossed it comes out well.
