    Ok then,
    Here's an interesting one:
    Coopers Canadian Blonde (chuck their yeast away)
    1Kg dry Light Malt (used in place of sugar)
    1 Sachet Safale Yeast.

    Double decant before bottling
    Prime each 750ml bottle with 1tsp CSR White Sugar
    Store for 4 weeks at least.

    I'm more of a lighter type beer drinker, more along the lines of Pilseners and Bitters and light Lagers, I also dont mind a wheat beer (mainly Redback).

    I don't know what ingredients you have tried, but I like to use as a base:
    • kit
    • 500g dextrose
    • 500g light malt
    • 200g dried corn syrup (maltodextrin) It doesn't ferment much so it adds "body" so the beer doesn't taste watery and the head stays longer.
    change the ratio of malt/dextrose (total 1kg) to change the sweetness. More malt leaves a sweeter malty taste.

    I like hoppy beers and put anywhere between 10-25g of hop pellets. I dry hop, which is throw the hops in before I put on the lid.

    One I have going at the moment is
    Coopers Bavarian (now European lager)
    500g dextrose
    500g light malt
    200g dried corn syrup
    25g of Tettnang hops. (dry hopped)

    I have made this before and it comes out a bit like Boags St George. Last time though i put the hops in a jug and poured over boiling water and let sit for a while before adding to the fermenter. Brewed at low temp - 10-16 degrees as the kit does come with a real lager yeast. (This is shown by the letter "P" stamped with the batch number

    I made this a few months ago and have just bottled another batch.

    Its a James Squuire cloan for their amber ale,
    1 can Morgans amber ale,
    1.5 kg of light malt,
    Safale yeast, but I used morgans,
    Fuggles hops.

    I fermentd it between 21 and 30 degrees, bottled and left it to sit for about 6 weeks before sampling.


    If your after a wheat beer then try
    1 can of Mutons Wheat beer,
    1 brew booster,
    200 grams of honey.

    Try to avoid using a bush style honey as the eucalyptas in it somtimes will kill of your yeast.
