Muntons Canadian Style Beer | March 12th 2016 | |
DissapointedI brewed this kit with 1.5kg of light LME and 100g corn sugar. I added 20g each of Cascade and Amarillo @20min left in the boil. I proofed the yeast and pitched 6g Brewferm top along with the kit yeast. Fermentation was at 18°. It didn't ferment well, FG was 1.016 (OG was 1.040). The beer has been in the bottle for a month now. It has carbed nicely but it's really nothing special. It's lacking in body and taste and it's too sweet because of the high FG. I would not brew this kit again. |

Coopers Australian Pale Ale | February 3rd 2016 | |
Nice Pale Ale to tune to your likingThis was my very first brew. I used only 250g of DME and 500g of dextrose. I added some NB bittering hops during the boil, I wish I had added some aroma hops as well. 8 days in primary, followed by 2 weeks in the bottle. I may do this kit again some day as it's a really nice base. I would definitely suggest to: a) use at least 1kg of DME or LME, b) do a short boil with some Cascade or Amarillo. You don't really need additional bittering, c) use no more than 19L of water, d) light dry hop with maybe 15g of your aroma hop. |
