The result is extravagantly tasty---very rich and full-bodied, strongly hopped but not tart. I am quickly becoming a believer in the value of a little wheat malt for adding flavorful body. It seems to work very well with crystal malt. Body, crispness, sweetness, hoppiness...heaven.

Ingredients:

1 can, Kwoffit Bitter kit (hopped extract)
3 pounds, light dry malt extract
1 pound, crystal malt
1/2 pound, wheat malt
Fuggles leaf hops
Kwoffit yeast

Procedure:

Steep the crystal and wheat malts. Boil the resulting mixture with the Kwoffit kit and the light extract. Add a small amount (up to 1/2 ounce) of the Fuggles hops in the last minute of the boil.
