As for mixing the spraymalt; I used a large pan of luke warm water, sprinkled the spraymalt in gently whilst continually mixing with the electric food mixer, there was zero clumping. The only clumping I did get was after the boiling water and contents of the can were in the FV, I poured the...

so if I was to use 1kg of spray malt instead of 1kg of sugar - would I need to add 333g of sugar to bring it up to the same ABV ?

what would be the difference in using a light or a dark spraymalt in a 1 Can stout kit. ? if the instructions say add 1KG sugar, can I just add 1KG spraymalt instead - or would I need a different quantity? How long does Spraymalt keep when the bag has been opened ? And what is the best way to...

yes that did help - Thankyou. I believe there is a difference in taste between cheap white granulated and the brewing sugars, can't quite explain the difference but I prefer the later - hence just buying 5kg of the stuff. Does seem stupidly expensive though (I guess its the postage)

I'm not understanding this, do you mean the glass you are drinking from and that the taste changes before you finish the glass? so is it the beer at the top part of the bottle that has a strange taste?

Thanks for the reply But when it comes to brewing beer what is the difference between Brewing Sugar, Dextrose, Spray Malt

Brewing Sugar, Dextrose, Spray Malt - are these all the same things ? Can any of these be bought at super markets etc or are they normally only available through brewing suppliers ? how long does it keep and how do you keep it ? 5kg would last me a year - is that too long / would this be...

or at least semi failed Firstly, this was my 12th brew and I pretty much done what I hav done with all the others, FV temp was set at 20-21c for the duration. This was a kit can, and the first time I have used a St Peters Stout. For reason that I don't understand, and the butt of my question...

always give it a good shake out, and unexpected readings double and treble checked. Just checked one I am drinking tonight (4 or 5 weeks in bottle) and still 1020. And the fact it is not having the usual effect also confirms it is seriously lacking in alcohol. Still a lovely drink though.

I have just made a low alcohol one, for reason I don't understand it died at 1020 (SG1041), left it an extra week in the FV, lifted temp a couple of degree (19 to 21) agitated it a bit. But no it had died at 1020. so by my reckoning 2.75 alc by volume. (st peters stout kit, supposed to brew...

So it will mix in quite easily, I was a bit concerned it may just stay as a big sticky lump in the FV Wondered if I should boil some up in a pan of water before adding. ha ha, I was told by someone it would enrich the stout I am doing? so will it just have the same effect as adding more sugar?

What annoys me about this is: The legislation is being produced to stop yuppies in the likes of London polluting their own streets by burning unseasoned wood in the wood burning stoves they bought so as they could pretend to their friends at dinner parties that they were somehow saving the...

Wanting to add some golden syrup to a kit, do I just por it in along with the contents of the can, and will it mix in ok. Or do I mix it with water in a pan on the stove to make sure it is more fully liquefied ?

I too have had problems getting into the Kit-Cans, and I seen this a few days ago https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/russell-hobbs-stainless-steel-can-opener-345071 It looked the job so I bought it, (£2.95 is not too much to risk) Just fantastic, have tried it on an old Kit-Can (that I kept to...

Lead astray by a beautiful woman, it will be all over in a year or two and he will be back. In the same way they have been banging on about climate change whilst private jetting it all over the world. They are now so fed up of being in the public eye here, they are heading out to the states to...

they get a fair blast but not enough to get the bottles airbourne - :D

Curious as to your thoughts on the following. All my bottles are washed soon after use and then stored full of a very mild bleach ( 12-15 ppm sodium hypochlorite) with a (well cleaned) old top pushed back on. Then on day of bottling, I drain the bottles and put 6 at a time on the following...

It is temp controlled for heat, and up until now I have never had this problem of it generating too much of its own heat, may be I will have to consider a temp controlled cooling fan. As for this brew, I have removed the box and just draped a coat over the top for tonight and it is starting to...

this is my first brew using a beerkit-enhancer, and it seems to have taken off pretty rapidly and is generating a lot of its own heat. Could it warm itself to a point where the yeast kills itself - or would it be self limiting ? Just to set the scene; I brew in the garage and it is fairly...

Have been watch big numbers of Pink Footed Geese arriving in today, fantastic to see and listen too - but this is very early for them, some say its the sign of a bad winter ahead....
