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 23 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

Anyone who wants a long, cold glass on a summer evening without a complicated brew day. Add a bag of Brewing & Winemaking Sugar; if you prefer not to measure priming sugar, Coopers Carbonation Drops make bottling easier. See also the Tom Caxton Home Brew Kit Range.
