Has anyone brewed this new kit yet? What's it like? I've just picked one up and wanted to know what I'm in for.

I was just going to ask the same question. Just got mine and I`ll be getting it going tonight when the temp has dropped a bit.

Set it away at 8 last night and it`s got 2 inches of lovely white foam on top already. :D .

Methinks this is going to be a good one!

The OG on mine was a rather dissapointing 1038. Still, let`s see how low it drops. Could do with a nice session ale that doesn`t make me walk into walls. :shock:

Also, well done on getting over the 1020 stick! =D>

Would be interested in finding if it is on a similar vein to the eastern as that was a lovely tipple, might buy one of each if i can still find the eastern to compare them both, the sundew looks 0.3% lower in alcohol, so even more of a session ale

Just bottled my Sundew. It dropped to 1008. A nice golden colour and a taste of honey in the sample jar.

Now for the hard part. :( Probably will try one a week to check for it peaking. :wink:
