First Brew - Already made a mistake?!

[Duxuk]

My local Morrison's supermarket has a small range of wine and beer kits. You can also get brew enhancer in a bag. If you have no local homebrew shop it may be a source. It will give more body to a kit than sugar alone. You can also adjust the hops to improve the flavour. Get some hops from one of the forum sponsors above, maybe, and seek advice by searching or asking a question right here :thumb: Keep brewing, it gets easier and the beer gets better. :drink:

Looks like your brew has been saved.

Easy mistake to make, I always try to remember that if one Can Kit then always add sugar as I dont know many if any one can kits that have sugar in.

If its a 2 can kit then thats normally all the sugar you need, and obviously the 2 can kits are normally more expensive.

For most things I just use good old brewing sugar, but also can add spray malts or a mix of the 2 or some liquid malt.

Doh! In my last post I mentioned a video but did not give a link. It's the official Coopers video on YouTube. Being a new user I can't post a link so just Google Coopers Brew Kit, click Google's Video option and it's the first link. Or I can send you the link some other way. Just ask if you want it.

2 mins into video it says to add dry ingredients to can contents and mix thoroughly It also shows something that has to be sugar being added...
