Empty can into FV
1Kg Medium Spraymalt
Strain all malts and hops into FV
OG @22deg 1042
Add Yeast @ 22deg
Put FV in water bath @ 22deg, cover with Duvet.
Leave for 1 week
Dry Hop with something for 7 days, then bottle, etc, etc!
11 different hops to play with! I won`t tell you what they are but if I get more suggestions on a certain type, that is what I will Dry Hop with!

I think I might be turning into Doc. Emmett Brown! Ask your kids if you don`t know who he is.
Just dry hopped this with 25gr Topaz and 25gr Galaxy.

Thanks for the advice Monkey, perhaps I shouldn`t bugger about so much trying to be clever!
Will report back in a month, if there`s any left!

I'm glad that the early signs are good matey.

Looking forward to hearing how this brew matures

I put this BK out the shed tonight. Pulled a sneaky half to check that the Keg is not losing gas like last time.
It`s holding pressure so far, New Washer in cap, PTFE tape around cap thread, little smear of vaseline on washer.
Good froth on the beer, still a bit cloudy, but tasting and smelling Bloody Lovely Mun!
Will report back in 2 weeks.

Bought this online. Couldn't refuse the 25% off. Going to experiment a little with it and brew it with 500g medium spray malt, 500g dark muscavado sugar and black treacle. Read reviews it was a little pale and bland so hopefully this will add a bit of flavour to it and improve it in the long run.

Hello Everyone,
Quick update on this Brew. It`s Bloody lovely Mun!
Nearly there on clarity but I`m not posting a pic yet for fear of ridicule and much hilarity off the JBK ridicule and hilarity makers!

Here we are then Boyos,
6 weeks in the barrel and this is the Beautifully Clear, Fantastic Tasting / Aromatically Rewarding Beer that is
`Wilkos Hoppy Copper Bitter`.
I know that I messed around with this Kit `Big Time`, but what the Hell, it turned out rather nice actually, or as I say It`s Bloody Lovely Mun!





Will do this again, it`s a great kit for tweaking!

MrsAles said `Why are you crying`?
And I said `Monkey is a moderator now and he praised my Beer`.
MrsAles said `FFS get off that Bloody JBK and grow up!`
