Before starting, about 1 hour earlier, add yeast (open bag carefully with sterilized scissors) to water with some sugar or golden syrup.
Cover with cling film and leave until necessary, 2-3 hours later.
Mix concentrate / extract with hot water, add the brewing sugar.
In the meantime, boil some water - 3 litres, add 40 grams of hops in a muslin bag.
Boil for 40 minutes, add 10 grams of hops in a smaller bag - tea bag for example.
Switch fire off after 10 minutes.
Add to the fermenter, fill water up to 4.2 gallons.
Initial Gravity = 1038 at 24 degrees C.
