Mid strength trican

[Clemo]

Hi there, hoping someone can help me.

I have a 60L fermenter and I was wondering, if I poured 3 cans of goop - and nothing else - what would I have to fill it up to to get a mid strength (say 3.5-3.9)? I was thinking around 43L but I thought you some of you guys might have tried it before and give me some help.

Thanks

Do a search for the kit and extract spreadsheet and fiddle with the numbers in there.

Trican....... is a bloody awful sounding name.

Free brewing software. Will help you figure out this sort of thing. If you added absolutely nothing else but 3 cans of goo, you'd probably be looking at around 42-43 litres to end up with ~3.5%, so your initial prediction was bang on.

select cans wisely.

If you go with three prehopped cans you could have too much bitterness, out of balance for a middy. maybe two hopped and one unhopped

You'll need some spec malt to get done flavour in there.
