Like the name, I might just have a go at an ale and give that name.

The Geordie beer enhancer is 50% glucose and 50% spray dried malt.

I’ve made ‘hurricane ale’ which is a mix of dark malt spray dried and glucose, that was good.

If you really want to add flavour, I would get some crystal malt and steep some for 20mins or so in water at 60-70C then add that to the beer kit, 200grm is good.

That gives more flavour than the brew enhancer.

Places like morrison (here in the UK at least) and wilkos have 2 part beer kits for sale at £15 which is 38p a pint.

Hi chaps ive always made beer using sugar, ive just bought some geordie beer kit enhancer,which is sprayed malt(1 kg), should i bulk this out with glucose to make it go further? Ie use 0.5 kg and the other 0.5 kg glucose? I dont mind the Homebrew taste but obviously prefer the proper taste of a dry bitter.With the youngs definitive bitter kit and the sprayed malt im up to 11 quid for a 40 pint kit,so would like to reduce the costs if possible.Is there an optimum way to keep the cost down/taste good.Recession bitter might be a good name!Comments appreciated.Tony.

Is this for a 5 gallon kit?

Hi Phil

The mixture of the pale, medium malt and the 300grms of glucose replaces the 1kg of sugar the kit instruction suggest using.

I find using a lot of cane sugar, adds a really metallic taste so I try not using it.

Would this ale be similar to say a pint of St. Austells Tribute?
