Theres somthing missing...

Post by wanus » Mon Sep 07, 2015 3:16 pm

Hello all,
I went over to my local homebrew shop today to buy a second fermenter.Whilst there in the reduced section there was a brupak black country mild from the beers of the world range.It was a good price and despite being a Biab the guy in the shop said i will be able to do it the conventional kit method way also.To cut a long story short i bought it read the instructions back at home but theres somthing missing.....`SUGAR` :!: Not once does it mention anything about sugar.Am i right to believe that the sugar is mixed in with the extract :?: Thanx in advance iff anyone can shed some light :roll:

I thought BoW kits were all malt extract?? . . . And are they not 20 pint kits as well?

Just checked . . . . .Yep - Here

Cheers aleman,i already looked on their website.Think i`ll follow the instructions as they are but use a fermenter instead of a bag.Yes they are 20 pint kits also.

It's the one thing I think that lets the BoW kits down, is using the BruBox system . . .Of course you don't have to, and you get a much better product, by using a Fermenter, and dispensing from a different vessel . . . In Other Words brewing 'properly' :D
