ive got a kit of brewmaster black rock waiting to go in the fermenter.only problem is there are no instructions under the lid.how much sugar should i dissolve in the bin with the kit?.thanks bob

[nicktherockstar]

how heavy is the kit?

how many tins?

should it be two tins chances are no sugar (but please use spraymalt) will be needed.

I have googled your kit but couldnt find it, so couldnt work it out for you

looking at others like it i am guessing its a coopers 1,7kg kit?

in which case i would assume it needs 1kg of spray malt, dont do anything untill someone like daab gets back to you though as I know nothing compared to some of these guys!

thanks,its a brewmaster reserve beer kit from new zealand
BLACK ROCK german style beer 1.7kg.
i cant get to my hb supplier so sugar is my only option im afraid.

[nicktherockstar]

yes its 1kg its on the black rock website

just a thought, mail order malt from somewhere like h&g? i order in a few kits and spray malt/whatever else i need for a while to keep the shipping cost down.

You could just use the can supplied on its own and only make 20 pints.That way you should retain the flavours and strength of the beer.

I was going to suggest that however refrained from fear of the backlash at suggesting such a mini-brew! lol

[oxford brewer]

More of a potential backlash from using household sugar though
Just do half a brew and then stock up on fresh ingredients whilst that's fermenting.....the circle never ends

thanks all for your help,ive got a broken foot so cant drive for a while.but im at dryburn hospital on friday and will be heading straight to the durham indoor market for fresh supplies and a new brew
