you want to add half a teaspoon of sugar to the bottles. Same for barrel so if your adding say 30 pints of beer to barrel you would need 15 teaspoons. Dont know about dark malt though ive never used it

you want between 4 and 6g per litre for an ale depending on how carbonated you like it. Thats for sugar, dry malt its between 60-80% fermentable so you have to use around a third more than if you were using sugar

barreled and bottled today but a bit worried this is the first 2 can kit i have done and

when transfering little lumps came through siphon tube most went into bottles as i did these 12 first then rest in barrel and not much went into that

at the end there was a lot of gunge stuff more than what i would usally have from a 1 can kit i am used too

temp was kept between 19 and 21 in shed
so is it spoiled or am i worrying too much
will post pics when know how too
