I have a golden ale kit from wilko.
I want to try adding some real hops to it.
Firstly at what point do I add them? Also what could I add to make a sort of American pale ale? One of the c's?
Thanks
i guess it doesnt have to be a indentikit, just something along the same lines, something quite easy going and light to drink.
thanks for the answers so far
Im just bottling my Wilkos Mexican Cerveza and looking to start an ale next.
Im looking for a kit which is a golden ale, similar to Moorehouses Blond Witch or similar golden/light ales.
can anyone recommend anything?
cheers
Whats the recommended amounts of sugar for priming 23l of lager? I'm going to do it into a keg and bottle from there.
I've already got a vimto tc and a Robinson's tropical tc on the go.

Thanks for the top advice. I don't have any temp strips so I will pick some up. I did a sg reading of 1.061 so I'll give it another week or so before I check again.
so...next step. I'm going to bottle it...I have a pressure keg so should I prime that with sugar and then syphon into that and...
I pitched straight from the packet at 19c.
I'll see how I get on. Something is happening. I think I was just expecting it to be more vigorous.
I'll improve my patience ha
as my first brew i am doing the Wilko own brand cerveza kit.
I've had it in the FV since Monday morning (so approx 48hrs) and there seems to be tiny little bubbles fizzing on the surface but no major bubbling or foam on the top like ive seen in pictures?
is something wrong or is this normal...
