Anyone have any ideas how I could pimp this cheap can up?
It's a cheapie so as long as it pours out the barrel I'm not fussy ;-)

Hello rs,
I brewed one of these 6/6/14 and it is Bloody Lovely Mun!
1 Can Kit
1Kg Light Spraymalt
1 bottle Golden Syrup (454gr)
41.1Gr Hersbrucker Hops 5 min boil in 3Lts water
1 pack Tarwebier Yeast in @ 22deg
SG 1046 FG 1010
Day 7 Dry Hop with 21Gr Helga and 21Gr Galaxy.
I started drinking this after 3 weeks in the bottle. Very clear, Very Hoppy and Very Drinkable!

rs,
I only used those Hops because they were the dregs of the bags. You might want to do some research on the `Hops` thread before you buy any. There are
loads out there to suit this Kit and I am sure someone on here more experienced than me will point you in the right direction. If you go on the `Hops` thread,
Look in stickies for `Hopslist Has Launched`. Good stuff in there.
Doing my next Wilko Cerveza on Saturday with 40Gr Cascade Hops and Dry Hop with 60Gr Cascade.
You are now in the ELC! (Easily Led Club)!

Hi all
Quick update, visited my (excellent) LHBS for supplies and he suggested trying a desperadoes/dead crow clone, anyone have any recipes, think it would work?
Another lesson learnt in the ELC!! Lol :-)
