Make It Your Brew
Use amber or dark malt to deepen colour and add a richer pub-style body. Treat the tin as your foundation: choose the fermentable, control fermentation temperature, then condition properly. That is where a simple extract kit starts becoming your own house beer.
Brew more for less: turn one extract tin into a full home brew batch and you can craft your own beer for as little as 30c per stubby depending on recipe, fermentables, bottle size and packaging used.

| What it means | EBC is the colour rating brewers use to understand how pale, golden, amber, brown or dark a finished brew is likely to pour. Lower numbers mean a paler beer; higher numbers mean deeper amber, brown or stout-like colour. |
