very tasty

made as instructed, though to 22l. Kegged beer tasted nice, though a little watery. 20-21 litres would've been better. Bottled beer tasted WAY better than the kegged stuff after 2 months, so would suggest that the extra priming sugar & aging has made all the difference. I didn't think i'd like this style of beer, but it has become one of the best brews i've made. would definately make again, though no kegging next time!

Best in class

Made 2 batches, both using the yeast supplied (Safale S04) with nothing else except water added. The first batch made to 22.5l was very good but a little light on for body. The second batch however, at 21l, was spot on (FGs of 1012 and 1014 respectively). I must admit I’m not a big fan of this style of beer but people who tasted it that like brown ales thought it was fantastic. Therefore a 5/5. By the way, you are not meant to add a 1kg of malt or sugar to the ESB 3kg kits…

Sweet but drinkable

Added 1kg LLME, and boiled with 40g Cascade pellets for 5 mins. There appeared to be plenty of hops in the can, though not in the conventional forms - looked something like they would look if you put cones through a coffee grinder. Anyway, couldn't taste any hops at all. Malty sweet. very little bitterness.

E.S.B Extra Special Nut Brown

One of my earliest brews, and probably one of the best. Just can, Safale yeast, at 22 degrees. Good head, taste, probably could do with a little more malt flavour though, but the kit is excellent value

ESB Nut Brown Review

I brewed this as per instructions and fermenter with either the windsor ale yeast. One of the easiest, nicest beers I've made. It was fermented at 22-24C.
