Hi all,
I'm new to home brewing but currently planning to make an american pale ale. However, the kit I ordered came with 3 kg of malt extract 100 g of priming sugar and 650 g of brewing sugar along with the hops and yeast.
So my question is was is the purpose of the priming and brewing sugar. The priming sugar I assume is added to the container before bottling to allow the beer to bottle condition. The brewing sugar however I don't understand and i haven't been able to find a decent source of what it is designed does it replace the malt extract? is it added after the boil? anything?!
The kit also came without instructions so that doesn't help. Would really appreciate some advice
Thanks
