I'm playing around with this idea. I know it's simple, but sometimes beer should be.

1 x 1.8kg Muntons Bitter Kit
500g DME
250g Crystal 60 (steep@68deg for 30min)
22L with a 5 liter boil
Hop additions: 30g Fuggles for 30min , 10g at flameout should add another +-5 IBU to the kit.
Yeast: Thinking of safale04 or 05 (leaning towards 04), but read somewhere that the muntons kit yeast is actually good.

I want a really low abv session beer with a smooth bitter taste. I'm calculating about 4.2%
Hope this will give me what I'm looking for.


Also going to carb at 1.7 CO2 (I like my ales that way)

Any thoughts? Greeting from South Africa!!
 
Alright I'm doing this on the weekend then seeing as there are absolutely no objections! ;)

Happy Brewing!
