Flemish Brown

Rebrew, sugar replaced by DME this time, 1 kg.  Excellent results within a month start to finish.  17 x 75 cl bottles of Flemish Brown Ale at £1.5 a shot, bargain.

Spot on kit.

Oud Vlaams Bruin

Last bottle went down after six months in the cellar ... best kit beer I have ever drunk.  Magnificent, if this is home-brew, I am not going to buy commercial beer ever again.

Oud Vlaams Bruin

An excellent kit that gives excellent results.  Done according to the blurb on the box.

The Oud Vlaams Bruin is a malty brown ale with very little to no hop character and a slight acidic bite to it that counters the sweetness of the dark malts.  The flavour profile is complex ... it keeps you coming back for more.  The kits are more expensive than others out there but the extra cost is fully justified when you taste the results.

A nice 'Leffe Bruin' clone

I was looking for a clone of the lovely Leffe Bruin. I decided to throw two tins of this extract into a fermenter (without any extra sugar)and used the supplied yeast. The fermentation stoped at a very high SG but I bottled it anyway. First tasting was not very good but good things came to those who wait, and it really came into its own after 6 weeks. The final product is a nice Leffe Bruin clone, but a bit too stong in alcohol terms. I have ordered more of this and might dilute it down a bit more... Over all a very nice Belgium Double beer

Made this up more or less to the destructions. They basically say "Add this much white sugar and that much water. Wait a week. Bottle beer." Dissolved the requisite amount of sugar in a small saucepan and tried to invert it with a few drops of lemon juice. Not too sure how much success I had there. The stock yeast is pretty boring. It tastes like a sweet, less than fabulous kit beer. Mine turned out to be around 7% and was fermented fairly warm which is good for esters, but it seems that I've ended up with a few higher alcohols too. Its certainly a good winter warmer if a little boring. I'd try it again with a decent Belgian liquid yeast strain like WY3787.
