500 kgs might be a tad to much :shock:
I make the same but less the dextrose, and swapping the kit yeast with K97 Safwheat turns it into a real winner.

For a low alcohol variety do I just drop the dex to 250g

It might be a bit much dex but it would be cheaper then petrol @124c/l :shock:

Emu Export - rather malty. but OK

I've made the golden saaz twice.Its pretty good and the secoend time I added a saaz teabag.The batch with the teabag took 4mouths in the bottel to come good as the hops where initialily overpowering and left a unpleasent dry taste in your mouth but now they have mellowed with time to give a great brew.

:!: Yeh I don't know what they are doing with their site mate ?

It is from the 'Morgans Popular beer recipes' flyer thingy you get from your
local homeBrewDude.
The Corona Clone is a nice sweet girly beer as well.

The recipe is as above / just a kit and adjunct n00b thing.
it is just 3.5 weeks old but tastes quite good.
A tad of an acrid flavour (for a better term - burnt honey perhaps ??), but lacks that distinctive Dirty Crown taste and smell. I am guessing more experienced brewers would say this is a good thing.
Will report back later at proper ageing.

happy new year

Morgans make pre-packed bags of hops in bags that look like pot sized tea bags:- just put them in a cup of water like making a cup of tea and dump the lot in the fermenter.Don't like them myself as I'v only had trouble with them.
