Brew Canada Draught Blended With 2 Row and Vienna - Sat, Jan. 14, 2017
This is just trying to brew a kit without adding corn sugar or any more extract. I bought an extract kit from Brewers Pantry last year and the extract twang was just awful. Hopefully, I can add 50% of this beer mashing 2 row and vienna malt. The wort tasted good, no extract twang yet. Trying to get the hops figured out on how much to use. I couldn't get any info from the kit, no surprise there. I assume it was from 12 - 15 bu's. I did taste hops when I took a gravity reading. It is fermenting now @ 66 F.
1.9 kg. - 4.19 lbs. Brew Canada Draught
4 lbs. Not so great Western Malt
8 ozs. Vienna
28.35 grams Hallertauer - 2/5% AA for 60 min.
US-05
75/25 RO/WELL in mash
100% RO in the can, boiled 10 min.
Tried to get 3 gallons in each of the pots on the stove, but they wouldn't hold that much. With evaporation I got 4 gallons, which isn't too bad I guess. Next time if this turns out I will make a bigger gravity in my mash so I can add some boiled and cooled water. The gravity needs to be high, over 60 may up to 70. I have another can of draught so I will give it whirl when this is done. This just keeps going and going... I want to keg it to see if it is drinkable or not. Kit beers alone suck balls. I should be able to keg it soon.

I kegged it on January 22. Very hazy as expected, but very drinkable this early. I still get the extract twang which is from these kits, but not as bad as if I added 2 lbs. of corn sugar which the instructions said to do, yech!! Will do this again soon.
