How to brew it
Warm the can, pour it into a sanitised fermenter with about 3.5 litres of boiling water and 1kg of brewing sugar, stir well, then top up with cold water to 20 litres. Sprinkle on the yeast at 18-21°C and leave to ferment for 4-6 days, or until your hydrometer reading holds steady for 3 days. Prime with half a teaspoon of sugar per pint, keep warm for two days, then store somewhere cool for about 14 days until clear.
Who it is for
Bitter drinkers who want something with more body for the long winter nights. Pick up 1kg of Brewing & Winemaking Sugar with it, and use ChemSan to sanitise your kit first. Bottling? The Beer Capper + 100 Crown Caps Bundle has you covered. Browse the full Tom Caxton range.
