Hello
I'm just starting my brewing hobby having brewed only 2 batches (first was an American Pale Ale kit - followed the instructions religiously, the second was a St Peters stout kit which I added 500g lactose sugar and cocoa nibs).
Today, I have used a Wilko Premium Wheat Beer kit (limited edition?), 1kg of brewing sugar, 500g of light DME, and topped it up to 20 litres instead of 23 in the hope of a higher ABV. I plan to let it go for however long it takes.
My OG is 1.046 - is this normal? What sort of strength should I expect? Any tips on how to get the most out of my brew?
I am very new to this but I'm learning!! Any tips or guidance
