How to brew it

Dissolve the malt and 1kg of brewing sugar in your fermenter, top up to 23 litres, add the yeast at 20-25°C and leave for 14 days. Bottle once the gravity reads 1008 or below with a heaped teaspoon of sugar per 500ml bottle, as you would for a lager. Young's Beer Finings help it drop bright before bottling.

Ideal for lager drinkers who fancy something with a twist. See the rest of the Better Brew range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Bandit Brew taste like?

It's a Mexican-style light beer flavoured with tequila and lime - light and refreshing, ideal for summer and barbecues.

How many pints does it make?

Like the rest of the Better Brew range, it makes 40 pints from a tin of hopped malt extract and yeast.

What do I need to add?

Water and sugar, or light spray malt for a fuller body. Follow the instructions in the box for the quantity.

Which yeast should I use?

The kit includes yeast, but if you want to upgrade, Safale US-05 is a clean, neutral strain that won't compete with the tequila and lime flavouring. See our beer and cider yeast comparison chart.

How should I serve it?

Use Beer Finings for a clear finish, bottle with Carbonation Drops and serve ice cold.
