Hey Ian,
Probably the best way to utilise the Tooheys Lager is to do a toucan with the blonde.

Try the 500g malt with about 250g dex, about 20g of East Kent @ 10mins, and use the coopers yeast, made to 24litres.
Not a fan of Tooheys kits, flavour wise, but have made a few blondes, one with a can of Coopewrs Real ale wich turned out fairly good.

Save ya grain and other gear for an extract at a later time, maybe get some liquid amber malt.
Perhaps someone with more extract knowledge can make a suggestion here.

Cheers Ivan. :beer:

I'd go the following:
Blonde kit
500g Light malt
500g Dex
300g Amber steeped
25g Saaz for 10min
Coopers yeast
Made up to 22 L

How about this....

Download the [topic="0"]Spreadsheet[/topic] and select some thing that you may like to try. Then change things to suit what you have.

It takes a little bit of getting used to, but as many others have stated, it is a great resource.
