Made up this kit on Friday night - it's my first attempt at a kit so fingers crossed.
I made it up with 1Kg of Better Brew Enhancer and a packet of their Saaz finishing hops. Steeped the hops in a mug of hot water for ten mins or so and threw it in the wort. Brewed short to 20 litres. OG 1052.
Pitched the yeast at 23 degrees.
All seems to be going well, lots of foam hitting the lid. Got a couple of weeks now to decide what to do next and get the bottles sterilised etc. Got a second FV so was thinking of racking it for another week before sticking it back in the other FV to batch prime it. Does that sound right?
Just need to drink more Grolsch in the meantime. Got 38 bottles so far. I'm sure I'll manage that in a fortnight :)
Edited to ask is 120g sugar sound about right to batch prime?
Thanks!
