Beer 'kits' include a can of hopped malt extract and a pack of dried yeast. For some kits we make recommendations for improvement. Using more than 20% table of corn sugar leads to cidery flavors. We recommend using brewers corn syrup, brewers rice syrup or dried malt extract in place of sugar and choosing a fresh pack of yeast over what is supplied with the kit. There are some benifits of boiling the content of the beer kit so we recommend a short boil (5-10 minutes). Too long of a boil can carmelize and darken the color of the finish beer.
