Calculate the ABV (Alcohol by volume) for beers and ales when using a beer kit that requires sugar.

1 – Using 1kg brewing sugar, you will produce a good quality beer with a 4.5 to 5% ABV.

2 – Alternatively, use 1kg (2x500gs) of dry malt extract (DME) – the colour appropriate to the type of beer (see the colour guide below); you would produce a beer slightly higher in ABV yet at the same time retain its body.

3 – However, we recommend using 1.5kg of unhoped liquid malt extract (LME) – again, the colour appropriate to the beer being made (see the colour guide below).

Using an LME will undoubtedly produce a beer of pure quality, depth, body and flavour than options 1 or 2 above.

The use of a hydrometer will determine the ABV.
