In my fermentor is the ingredients as listed in the yellow brewcraft recipe list, for James Boag Premium
Black Rock Lager can
no. 60 converter kit
500g Light dry Malt (LDM)
Saflager yeast
Now i put ALL the ingredients in, and a mate of mine that brews thought that i should have substituted the LDM for a portion of the no.60 kit - in effect, adding the standard 1kg of sugars, instead of what i did, - adding the total 1.5kg.
It was his opinion that i had over loaded it and that the result would be an off beer with a mountain of alchohol.
But --- the brewcraft leaflet does not mention substituting anything, and
day 1 SG - 40
day 4 sg - 10
which indicates to me its brewing nicely, and will probably be ready to bottle in 3 or 4 days time
Any opinions out there?
