Hairy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 1kg of BE1 will be much less alcoholic than 1kg of sugar. You may need to top up your brew will some sugar/dextrose. Or just chase your beers with some vodka. The APA and BE2 is a step in the right direction though [wink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The APA and BE2 is a step in the right direction though [wink] ive always made my brews with half the amount of sugar.....but ive decided to get "lairy" and try something new lol......mind you full strength AND vodka chasers might just be the trick...swmbo is NOT happy with your advice hairy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Do you mean the Reschs Real? I've tried that before ([sick] ). I think that was a lager, or was supposed to be a lager [biggrin] The EB kit is nothing like that. The EB is really just a pale ale that can vary in colour. The Coopers EB kit is a dark ruby red colour. The English pales tend to have a bit of a carmelly flavour as well as some fruity esters from the English ale yeast. Even if you haven't tried these type of beers before you should give it a go. I have given the EBs to people who say they don't like that style of beer and they loved them.
