Muntons Scottish Style Heavy Ale | March 27th 2016 | |
Great one, almost a stoutAfter about 5-6 days fermenation and 12 days in the bottles it's already great. Made it with standard sugar from the kitchen, following the instructions. Really hard to explain how it tastes, it's really a heavy ale almost as sweet as a stout, but definitely has it's own character, and very strong body, and dense, probably because it's only 17Litre from the same amount as usually a 23 Litre kit. Color is dark, don't put too many bubbles in as it's just wouldn't match this style, I made it with 5.4g sugar per Litre. I will make this one again for sure. |

Coopers India Pale Ale (IPA) | March 9th 2016 | |
Nice oneMade this kit 3 times. Actually I have never made it at is I have always added some Citra or Mosaic hops. But in nutshell I think it's a great kit for the price / Litre. The only downside is that somehow it has a small sour taste, I had this in all 3. |

Muntons IPA Bitter | March 9th 2016 | |
One of the bestsThis was one of the best I did so far (7 total), way better than Coopers IPA. Strange that they are calling it as bitter because it's actually almost sweet. I have dry hopped with about 15g Citra for about 6-7 days after the fermentation finished which gave it a freat smell, and added 5.3g / Litre sugar to the bottles. It was very quickly drinkable (1 week) but 2-3 more weeks in the bottles just made it better, the 45 bottles dissapeared very quickly :) Definitely I'll make this one again in the future. |
