Hi all,
I'm keen to try a recipe I found in the 2011 Summer edition homebew magazine which is a Christmas brew.
In the ingredients list, it lists a 1.7kg can of Black Rock light malt extract, and 3 cups of honey, as well as 2 cans of cherries with plenty of syrup.
Yet in the instructions, it says 'add 2 cans of malt extract....' even though only 1 is listed in the ingredients list. Is it safe to assume the instructions were the typo, and I should only need the one can?
If it helps, the ABV is 6.1% so I'm assuming the 1 can of malt, the 3 cups of honey, and the cherries will produce that sort of ABV. Am I right in my assumption?
The cans of cherries I bought are 760g each, would those be a good size?
And my last question is: I haven't been able to find any Black Rock light malt extract as it's a New Zealand brand and I'm in Australia. What would be the best comparable? Are most light malts similar enough?
Thanks for the help!
