Nelson's Revenge

Post by JabbA » Thu Sep 11, 2008 9:38 am

I've had this kit going for a week now and couple of days ago I took a reading of 1012 (OG 1044) and had a wee sip. Very nice is was too, but it was a little too bitter, would the priming sugars (I was planning on using 100g of brewers sugar in the 23l of brew) sweeten it up a bit in the bottle, or should I add some non-fermentables, if so any suggestions?

Many Thanks,
Jamie

Bitterness from the hops reduces as the beer matures. Give it a chance and it'll be fine. :wink:

Cheers, Jim!

Hopefully some new toys from Hop and Grape will be delivered today, then that lovely job of cleaning and sanitising bottles awaits in the morning!
