This is a Wilko Light Golden Lager with a litre of Tesco Grapefruit Juice and 0.5kg of Muntons Beer Enhancer added before fermentation and a Hop Tea made from Cascade after transfer to a 25 litre PB.
The brew was started on 11th December and gets better every day! It's the closest brew yet to the Batemans Gold that I was trying to emulate. i.e. it's delicious!

WILKO LIGHT GOLDEN LAGER WITH GRAPEFRUIT
11th December 2019
Started with Wilko IPA Kit and 0.5kg of Muntons Beer Enhancer.
Added 1 litre of Tesco Grapefruit Juice to fermenter. (**)
Made as per instructions to 21 litres.
Cooled to 20*C, took OG and pitched kit yeast .
Fermenting at 19*C in Brew Fridge.
20th December 2019
Checked SG at 1.010
Started cold-crash to 10*C.
28th December 2019
Transferred to Wilko Keg
Added 15g of carbonating sugar.
Added 2 litres of Hop Tea made from 25g of Cascade Leaf.
Carbonated in fridge at 19*C.
30th December 2019
Moved from fridge to condition after checking carbonation underway.
DETAILS
OG = 1.038
FG = 1.010
ABV = 3.68% (*)
(*) ABV less due to addition of Hop Tea.
First taste of FG Sample is that the Grapefruit flavour is still there! YAY!
(**) It was the Tesco Pink Grapefruit Juice. The reason I mention this is that the flavour from the "ordinary" grapefruit juice seems a lot stronger!
Enjoy!
