You'll also need
Most 1-can kits need 1kg of brewing sugar or brew enhancer. Sanitise everything first with ChemSan.
MasterPint Real Ale is a traditional real ale kit that gets its caramel flavours from a blend of malts and hops. The maker says the result is a refreshing beer near its commercial equivalent, and it makes about 40 pints.
At 50-60 EBC it is the darkest ale in the MasterPint range short of the Stout, with a gentle 20-25 EBU bitterness.
What's in the pouch
- Selected liquid malt extracts
- Varietal brewery yeast - a little slower than cheap kit yeast, but the maker says it gives a much better result
- Packed in a stand-up pouch that can't dent, with full instructions on the back
You'll also need
- 1kg of Brewing & Winemaking Sugar 1kg
- A 25 Litre Fermentation Vessel with Tap
- A Wine & Beer Hydrometer
- ChemSan (no-rinse sanitiser) and Coopers Carbonation Drops for priming
- Young's Beer Finings for a brilliantly clear pint (optional)
How to brew it
Mix the malt and 1kg of brewing sugar with water to 23 litres, add the yeast and follow the pouch instructions. Finings help it drop bright before bottling or barrelling.
