    Bulldog's bad cat

    The raja's reward i think is very nice. Just add 500 gr beer enhancer , boil the off smelling hops from the kit for bitterness and add 25 gr cascade, 25gr mosaic and 25gr citra as dry hop! Amazing!

    Bulldog Four finger Jack American Pale ale.

    Good thing, actually i looked at the coopers drop bag and it said it has 2.5gr of sugar intaste each tablet of 3 gr .. and thats dextrose not glucose or granulated sugar of course .. so i also think the 110 gr will be enough when using 100% pure priming sugar .. srry i tried to blow up your home :-D

    Bulldog Four finger Jack American Pale ale.

    I use the coopers carbonation drops, 1drop (tablet) is 3 gr for 33 cl , so it should be 9 gr a liter, that's 9 gram x 23 liter = 207 grams of sugar i guess ( i am from Belgium so you have to calculate into ounces) .. its like 207 x 0.035 ... so thats about 9.45 ounces for a 23 liter brew...

    Four fingered jack

    Great Aphid, nice high abv % ! What did you do to boost up abv and sg? What ingredients did you add?

    Four fingered jack

    Why we add extra's to this kit is to give it more taste or flavour or abv and even bitterness ... nothing wrong with that, i always dry hop with at least 4gr/liter .. with different hops than the ones that came with the kit :-) .. so much better in taste! Kit beers are too standard , my opinion ....

    Dry Hopping

    Use panties/stockings(girls) , the knee section , those are realy fine holes for syphoning (muslim bag hole's are a bit to big) :-)
