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; add the hop teabag 1-2 days before you bottle, for maximum aroma. 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.
