What to use with this kit

Your fermentable choice changes the result:

• Dextrose – 1kg keeps the lager lighter-bodied and crisp.
• Black Rock Unhopped Ultra Light produces a fuller malt flavour and more body than simple sugar.

Follow the can instructions, keep fermentation within the yeast’s recommended range and confirm gravity is stable before packaging.

For step-by-step help with preparation, fermentation, gravity checks and bottling, see our beer brewing guide.
