What exactly do I need to brew this beer? I thought everything would be included in the pack I received but apparently not.

In addition to this tin of malt extract (which includes a sachet of yeast), you would need either 1kg of sugar (dextrose powder or normal granulated sugar), or 1kg of malt extract.You'll also need appropriate equipment: A fermentation container (with lid), ideally a thermometer, hydrometer, a siphon (for drawing off the finished beer), and importantly some steriliser to clean the equipment before use. You can then choose to bottle or barrel the beer once the fermentation is finished.

how long from start to drinking

Normally about 4 weeks, dependent on the storage conditions. From my own experience the beer is at a good drinkable state after circa 3 weeks and it improves up to 6 weeks. I do not know how long it lasts in the bottle/barrel as I never have any left after 6 weeks

What temperature do you ferment at? Please do not answer - it says on the instructions

The fermentation temperature is the same as the temperature you add the yeast, and it's stated on the instructions. If in doubt, visit the Coopers website for instructions.

Can I just use normal sugar instead of a second can of malt the instructions say I need to purchase?

Hi Yes you can use 1Kg of normal sugar rather than beer kit enhancer ot the dried spraymalt that the instructions talk about. Hope this helps Bigger trading t/as BiggerJugs
