Firstly thanks to the HBC for the kit and ManseMasher for organising.
contents of kit
2 cans of extract
bag brewing sugar
bottle a
foil pack of hop tea bags
gervin yeast
Instructions.
Been a while since i did a kit.
Instructions easy to follow,
pretty much as per any kit, put cans in warm water to soften up.
boil some water (in this case 2 litres in a pan along with the sugar)
add mixture to fermenter mix in extract top up to 22 litres add contents of bottle A.
at this point i couldnt resist taking a taste of bottle A (spent the next hour trying to get the taste out of my mouth...very bitter)
add yeast...(first time ive used Gervin)
place somewhere warm , wait 10 days . add hop teabags to boiling water then add....bottle 4 days later.
according to the website this is going to be north of 6% and 60ish ibu's
i maybe would have liked an idea of gravity readings.
will report back as time progresses.
i did fill a trial jar but it was a tad foamy well over 1.050 so the ABV is prob going to be about right,
taste sample of trial jar....fairly sweet ive definately put wort with a lot more bitterness into a bucket.
