Notes

The cane sugar (regular white sugar can be added when there is 15 minutes left on the boil. Dissolve the sugar in some of the hot wort and then add back to the boil pot.

Ensure that you take a hydrometer reading once the wort has cooled down to at least 24C.

Remember to aerate the wort before pitching the yeast and try to maintain a stable fermentation temperature until primary fermentation is complete.

You can add your priming sugar to the batch before bottling. Try not to disturb the trub at the bottom of the fermenter when doing this.
