Once that is done, lets start brewing first stage is really simple....I like to start putting in the sugar one bag first then I use a 3L jug to start pouring hot water from the tap then keep repeating until full...if you use hot water by the time you have poured all the water and the sugar in give it a good stir the temperature will be down to where it needs to be 22-26C
Now is a good time to take a hydrometer reading to get the specific gravity, you don't really need to it is personal preference for me as I like to know what the ABV is at the end the end..... I forgot to take it at this point so I did it later when all the ingredients were mixed....now time to put the yeast in and the yeast nutrient ...give a mix up then finally the activated carbon, this gets rid of all the nasty yeast flavour at the end of fermentation, if you have a heater now is the time to put it in and put the "wash" as it is called where you want it to sit for the next 8-10 days....I just leave mine in the kitchen at the end of a worktop.....nearly forgot to say remember to put the lid on it.
