Brew day

Boil the BrewBlend and Hersbrucker in 3 litres of water for 35 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the malt and your honey, then top up to 10 or 11 litres and add the yeast. This beer keeps improving in the bottle for months.

You'll need: a fermenter (the 30L you already have works, or a 15L), a pot of about 5 litres, 135g of plain honey, a hydrometer, a capper and crown-seal bottles. The Small Batch Home Brew Beer Kit has the fermenter, capper, crown seals, carbonation drops and sanitiser.
