Abbey | April 30th 2015 | |
Pretty good for a first timeBrewed this as my first beerkit. I used dark candy sugar. I also replaced the standard yeast with Fermentis Safbrew Abbay. The result is a nice and bitter yet sweet brown beer in the best tradition of Belgian Abbey Ales with some fruity banana flavours. I had a friend blind taste it together with several other commercial beers. It wasn't the best, but it certainly wasn't the worst. |

Great with honey.I brewed this one with Brewferm Blanche yeast instead of the standard Brewferm Top yeast that comes with the kit. I also opted for honey instead of sugar and the water used for this brew was boiled with some coriander. After primary fermentation I split the brew into 2 batches. I dry-hopped 1 batch with Fuggles, the second batch was dry-hopped with Amarillo. The Fuggles-batch turned out to be a very nice, sweet and spicy beer while the Amarillo resulted in a sweet, refreshing and fruity beer.
Certainly going to do another brew with this kit in the future. |
