Thanks for sharing this nice information on improving beer kits. I prefer brew with malt extracts to brew with sugar. It gives a completely different taste. Hi…

It will be my first beer making try don't know how it will be. But i am sure that it will be better than other some other products. Why don't you try to make some business of it? You've got great taste. Thanks for that nice one. It will be my first beer making try don’t know how it will be. But i am sure that it will be better than other some other products.

I found when using this plugin I got a whole heap of "Thanks" type rubbish which didn't add to my blog at all...it sure did get a lot more people making comments though!

It's old info but Wilko still have it at £15 a pop, so I've just ordered 3! The Georgie stuff is now £8. @ Mick - I have brewed this before, and just follow the kit instructions and you won't go far wrong. Let it settle for 28 days not 14, and you'll have yourself a cracking beer! Thanks for the heads up about the Wherry. It’s old info but Wilko still have it at £15 a pop, so I’ve just ordered 3!

A bit like making gravy! If you can make good instant gravy without lumps then you can do this. Personally I would use two bags and leave the sugar completely out. It brings the overall price of the brew to nearly the price of the better brews but you can experiment using light medium or dark or mixing them. Personally, I tend to use 1 med and 1 dark but thats me.

This is a great post. It's good to see someone who understand how to make beer. Too much sugar will definitely ruin it, but I didn't know how to fix it. Thanks for the advice. Wow.

I allways experiment when brewing and used a Firkin dog-bolter kit which is cracking on its own, brewing sugar and spray dried malt extract. Sounds great and am calling it ''Trooper Ale''. Keep up the good work and ill keep you posted on the result. Just made my first batch and can’t wait to try it.

I have always been big on a stout taste and not too sugary or sweet tasting. thats just my personal opinion about it. I hate when beer has too much sugar.
