How to brew it

Stand the can in hot water for 5 minutes, then mix it with 3 litres of boiling water and 1kg of sugar in your fermenter. Top up to 13.6 litres with cold water, sprinkle on the yeast supplied and ferment at 18-21°C - it usually finishes in 4-6 days.

Serve it unchilled, by the nip, to appreciate its rich body and flavour. A good one to brew ahead for Christmas or a celebration.
