Gday all. Have been brewing kits for a year or so, and have taken very little care or note of how exactly. The fermenting fridge is set at 22, have basically just been chucking the ingredients in per the instructions on the can and found the results to be pretty consistently good. Last few we've transferred to another fermenter and batch primed before bottling which seemed like a good idea, but none of those have been opened yet.
I can't really be bothered with the all grain approach, my mate and I manage to bottle and put another two brews on every ten days or so and it only takes about 90 minutes versus a whole day the couple of times we've gone with grain.
Question is, are there any simple steps or other ingredients you guys would recommend to improve the quality of the output? Going to put on a sparkling and a real this arvo, and just looking at the Coopers website I see their 'how to brew' calls for malts, which we've not tried before:

Anything else I could pick up from the homebrew shop as a simple addition/substitution ?
Cheers all,
Alex
