Home brew – My method on how I get three dozen large bottles of beer instead of two and a half dozen out of a can of beer concentrate, after dissolving concentrate and dextrose in hot water and it is in the fermenter. I fill the fermenter with cold water to just above the hand grips that are recessed into the sides of the barrel (my fermenter is about 20 years old I presume they are still made the same) I don’t measure any quantities. When beer is ready to bottle I add 150ml or for oldies like me 5oz of water to three dozen large bottles and a rounded tea spoon of sugar to each bottle. Not only do you get 6 extra bottles it lowers the alcoholic content and makes a much more pleasant drink. I have had brews tested from time to time and they usually come out about 4.2 percent using this method. Good brewing.
