- To keep it pale, Bulldog use around 3kg of malt extract plus invert sugar rather than more malt
- Saaz and Cascade hop pellets in a teabag for fresh aroma
- Varietal brewers yeast included
How to brew it
Soften the malt bag in hot water, mix it with 3 litres of hot water, top up to 23 litres at 20-25°C and add the yeast. Ferment for 8-15 days at 18-24°C; steep the hop teabag in boiling water for 10 minutes and add it on day 4. Bottle once the gravity stops falling, with a level teaspoon of sugar per 330ml or 500ml bottle, then keep warm for a week and cool for about another week to clear.
