The choices for making these kits are:
1. Brewing sugar 1kg - This will produce a light bodied beer with a pronounced hop character
2. Spray-dried malt extract 1kg – This will produce a beer with more body and a maltier profile, hops are still in evidence though.
3. Premium grade liquid malt extract 1.5kg – This will produce a truly commercial quality beer with a fuller body and a higher alcohol content.
You decide (The sugars need to be purchased separately).
