Hello all, I am new to brewing and I used an extract in a 4lb can, Monutmellic Irish stout. The place where I bought it from told me to add a 3.3 lb can of CBW to the brew.
The question I have is why did I add this to the brew if everything I needed was in the extract? The instructions did tell me to add 2 lbs of sugar to make a stronger,lighter-bodied beer but the guy at the brewing store told us to use the CBW in place of the sugar.
Should I have done this and should I have used all 3.3 lbs?
Thank you for any help, I love this site....
