Kits better made then they used to be?
Kits better made then they used to be?
Was watching a YouTuber today who mentioned the liquid extract twang was gone in some of the newer to market kits from etc. curious if others had a similar experience? If so with what kits? I brew extract mostly (dry malt) to avoid this twang but some kits would be much easier if that twang has been fixed

A few years ago I made some wherry kits up, and they were certainly OK. The twang had definitely gone.

Get one and try it? Preferably a quality two can/pouch kit

Re: Kits better made then they used to be?
I did a Woodforde's Admiral's Reserve 2 can kit at the start of March. I haven't brewed a kit for years after switching to all grain so wanted to see if they have improved and bought the 2 can premium kit to give it the best chance. I've got it in a Sankey keg at the moment, carbed slightly, and to my taste it tastes like a kit! It has improved every week it's been in there so I'm giving it a chance but all grain is ready and in it's prime sooo much sooner.
I also picked up a 1 can kit, Coopers Ruby Ported. I'm doing a half all grain brew with this just to see if that tastes less kit like. Haven't got round to brewing it yet though.
