Just put it in the fermenting bucket.
It comes in pouches, so a little tricky to get it all out, I had a go at filling the pouch with warm water to get the residue off the sides, but still quite a lot left.
Starting gravity of 1.035, so thinking it is going to end up around 4.2%.

If the starting gravity was 1.035 it is unlikely to reach 4.2%. That would mean it needs to ferment down to around 1.002. Still, i’m sure it will make a nice session beer - let us know how it turns out :)

The Coopers Golden Crown kit started at 1.035 and ended up at 1.004, just under 4.1%, so wishful thinking on this one as well :lol:

Just took the FG at 1.000 on mine, 15 days in the bucket.
Realised I put OG at 1.035 above, checked my note and it was 1.036.
Brewers friend ABV calculator puts it 4.7%.
