This is a bit of a tangent of the cheap vs expensive kits topic...
It got me wondering - what's actually in the can of Home Brew draught???
Surely it's just the same goop as some other tin with a home brand label on it... But what?
A recipe was posted for 1 tin home brand draught, 12-16g galaxy for 10 mins and 1kg coopers BE2.
I thought I'd give it a go. Tasting it so far, it's not that bad. Currently at 1.014 so got a little way to go.
It's very pale in colour, so much that I reckon my hops have actually offset the hue a fraction.
Taste is a bit hard to pinpoint as the galaxy is quite pronounced... Might be easier when it's fermented out and less sweetness from leftover sugars.
