How to make beer with EZ Caps

[bingalls]

Quick question...the procedure you outlined above does not include the addition of any sugar to the malt prior to fermentation. The instructions included with the canned malt (dark stout) I purchased calls for 2.2 lbs sugar to be mixed with the malt to make 23 litres of finished product. Do I need the sugar or not? And if "No", what would be the reason, since brewing of cider requires additional sugar to be added to an already sweet fruit juice.

Thanks...and great product!
