In "Hot-Rod Your Beer-Making Kit," I discuss how you can brew excellent beer using a beer kit. This recipe makes 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of beer, suitable for fermentation in a 2.1-gallon kit. The ingredients are readily available from your local homebrew supply store or from Internet-based retailers. We’ve specifically chosen the hops quantities so that you can purchase in 1-ounce increments without leftovers, and the quantity of liquid malt extract corresponds to small quart-sized jugs of extract. Just remember—BUY FRESH!
