Ok for a cheap brew

For 9 bucks a can, what do you get? On opening the kit, it had little aroma or colour vs other kits. Likewise the final product had with minimal body and flavour and a head. Initially it had a very unusual cidery, cross cardboardy taste that I have never experienced before. The yeast is hardly premium grade and beer probably needs racking off as soon as the primary ferment is done. I brewed with dextrose only and no dry hop; any more seemed pointless for a budget batch. Given it is 25% cheaper than a Coopers kit, you are probably getting what you pay for. My recommendation is to buy a better kit though.

update: after a month ageing the nasty flavours cleared up. It pours clear and really tastes like a generic xxxx / vb just a little less flavour. A little dry hop would really help but it makes more sense to me to just spend the money on a better kit.

hot summer brewing - nice drop
