Bitters and Ales

Tom Caxton Dark Real Ale 40 Pits

Tom Caxton Real Ale, but a bit darker.40 Pints

Has a hop enhancement sachet under the lid. It gives an extra hoppy aroma and flavour that a lot of the beer kits lack.

We usually use Brewing Sugar instead of sugar. Also we found it was a bit ligghter than we wanted so we added

500g of Medium Malt Powder. It gives a bit more body and colour, adding a few of those toffee flavours that we like so much!

 

A malt that can't make it's mind up whether it's dark or light, yes it can, oh, hang on no it can't... Good for darkish bitters and milds.
A kg of brewing sugar. yes, it's also known as Dextrose, monohydrate and glucose. It's all the same stuff. It has less of a homebrew taste than normal sugar, you're already used to it in cakes and sweets. You might catch sight of bags of it on trips to breweries!
