A great beer

Made as per the tins instructions. Fermented between 20 and 23 celcius. Bottled on day 10. A very nice  beer that will improve with time. The kit is a little pricey .....but results justify cost.

A great drop, love this stuff.

I bought this on a whim from our local home brew shop here in Kerikeri, NZ, and the store manager suggested coupling it up with a pouch of liquid malt extract, instead of a bag of dextrose or enhancer.  6 days in the fermenter (had to wait till I had a day off work) and 4 weeks in the bottles, to the day...

Has a dark brick red colour when held up to the light, smells malty, and tastes divine.  Reminds me of Wychwoods Hobgoblin, one of my favourite ales when I lived in England.

I'll definitely buy this one again.
