only got around to brewing this today, kit is a month out of date.
used the following to make a 21 lt brew
kit
1.5kg lme
250g carapils
160g wheat spray malt
also put in the rind of 1 orange, 1 lemmon, 2 cloves, 2 cardamon pods, 10 fennel seeds.
OG of 1050
How did this work out Blueshed?
makes me sad to see a thread with no replies... :'(
it was infected, tasted of bitter vinegar and smelt of rotten grapefruit. apart from that it was ok :P
have 2 brews bottled almost 3 weeks, will put up reports next week all going well.
Unlucky.
I found a couple of these kits (& the Bitter which was quality in BrenMurph's) last week so going to getthem on next week. Get a few kegs of easy drinking beer for these dark nights.
Sorry to hear it Blueshed. Win some, lose some :'(
Just curious though... What did you do with the orange, lemon, cloves, cardamon and fennel?
Did you bang them straight in or did you give them a quick boil to soften and sanitize them?
Put in 300ml of boiled water for 15mins, strained then put 300ml into FV.
