What to brew next?

Post by 1_stuart » Mon Jun 25, 2012 12:51 pm

New ish to brewing and prefer to stick to 2 can kits as nice and simple :wink: . So far have brewed Wherry, Nelsons revenge, Sundew and Admirals reserve (Favourite so far) so most of the Woodfordes range and enjoy this type of beer. I'd like to try another brand so looking for inspiration ????

I've heard some people say it comes out better than the bottles, and others that it comes out very similar to the bottle...

Never brewed it myself, or tried the bottled version :p :oops:

The bottles are really mice IMO so all is good. A few more weeks conditioning and I'll know for sure!

I've drunk them side by side before & they are quite similar in terms of sweetness & maltiness but the kit version is less hoppy. In my opinion the kit would be improved by a hop tea (30g of challenger or similar steeped for 30 mins) rather than the hop sachet that from memory I think comes with this kit.

Either way it's a nice kit that was ready to drink pretty quick so hope you enjoy it. :=P
