Lager Helles receipe no. 12

I made 15 kits till now and I am not going to buy again this Helles. Cannot describe the taste but believe me that my friends didn't like it too. I respected the normal temperature, density before botteling and 2 months in the fridge.

Munich Lager

New to homebrewing and i thought id have a try of this one. Used the tin, german lager enhancer, kit yeast +200gm dex.

Been my least favourite so far, tastes way overhopped and I beleive the yeast has imparted a very slight metallic taste to it.

Im not going to try it again but i think it would be a lot more drinkable with a bohemian lager yeast and an unhopped enhancer (#15)? maybe.

excessive hop

This review is for the Mangrove Jack's lager  - not the Munich Lager - and I am not sure there is much diiference. Anyway to get a baseline, I used the recipe from the pouch, not can, to a "T", including the ale yeast that came with it. The result was an overhopped brew - not undrinkable - but not of a lager characteristic either. The IBU had to be in excess of my Festa West Coast India Pale Ale - around 46 IBU's. I am planning on modding a MJ Brown with a Nottingham yeast, some dry malt extract, Willamette hops and dextrose according to a mod I picked up from one of my brew group sites (Homebrew Talk, Canadian Homebrew, Brewnosers namely). The modifications put the kit into Brewhouse and Festa range, and unless it's as good, I won't be doing any more experiments with this range. I hope this one is better because I can't see trying the stock kit again.
