Finally got a kit & got some questions

[Garry]

The dark spray malt will go well with the stout. Are you using 1kg of spraymalt or 500g?

[CB_Phil]

Have 500g, was thinking half & half w/the brewing sugar, or would I be better going kg of one?

[Garry]

I was just asking out of curiosity. 500g spray malt + 500g sugar will be fine. Generally more malt will give you better body and flavour. I know I was telling you to stick with sugar earlier, I was just trying to keep it simple.


There are very good value liquid malt extract tins available from HBW and HBC, for when you're ordering your next brew    I've used these on the last few kits instead of spray malt and they are very easy to use.

to be honest, it wasnt till I was home that I realised it was only a 500g bag. Thought Id just run w/it & sure I never do anything the easy way, not that I do it on purpose either thou mind you.

I seen the liquid ones on some of the sites alright, wasnt sure about it, will take a look @ it next time so.
