Tips for Best Results
- Enhance with 200g Crystal Malt steeped before brewing for extra caramel character
- Use Brew Enhancer 3 for improved malt body
- Upgrade the yeast to LalBrew Nottingham — a clean, versatile English-style ale yeast that stays neutral, letting the caramel malt character take centre stage rather than adding its own fruitiness
- Bottle with Carbonation Drops and condition 2–3 weeks
