Wakatu Pilsner | May 22nd 2017 | |
New FavouriteThis is now one of my staples and I always have a keg of it on tap. Brewed at 15C for 4 weeks and dry hopped for the last 4 days with a blend of Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka & Motueka hops. |

Corriander & Orange Witbier | March 5th 2017 | |
Orange & CorrianderVery strong on the Orange flavour - as the names suggests I suppose. The issue for me is that this was sold to me as a much closer clone to Hoegaarden than the whispering wheat and its a million miles away, nothing in this suggests Hoegaarden at all. But if you like a strong orange flavour in your beer this could be for you ? |

Black Rock Whispering Wheat | February 15th 2017 | |
Good Summer BrewLooks like a wheat beer, tastes like a wheat beer and an ideal brew to put down over those hot summer days when the temp gets too high for other yeasts. I've made it a few times and added different things and it has always turned out well. I like to add some wheat spray malt and have always used Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat yeast. |

Wakatu Pilsner | February 15th 2017 | |
Lots of Aroma HopSo I have made it again with the Safelager at the lower temp and it is quite a different brew. The longer ferment time has brought out alot more of the dry hop flavour. I think I prefer it brewed shorter at the higher temp but it is still delicious. |

Black Rock Colonial Lager | January 20th 2017 | |
Nice LagerA little lacking in flavour, but a good crisp clean lager. I dont think you could go wrong with this one. |

Coopers Pilsner | January 19th 2017 | |
Good for a CoopersHadn't done a Coopers kit for years so I bought two of these to try. Used Safelager for both. Dry hopped one with Saaz. Both were very drinkable but there are Pilsner Kits out there so much better than this that I can only rate it a 3 out of 5. Good for a Coopers but I wont be buying another Coopers kit in a hurry. |

Crafted Indian Pale Ale | January 19th 2017 | |
A Real IPAFirst IPA kit I have made that tastes like a real IPA. I think it could improve even more with some dry hopping. |

Wakatu Pilsner | January 6th 2017 | |
DeliciousThere are hops included in the can so no need to dry hop. Full of flavour. Good balance of malt and hop. Made with 2 cans of Whakatu Pilsner and Mangrove Jacks California Lager yeast fermented at 19C for 3 weeks. Iam about to put one down again using Safelager at 13C but cant imagine it could taste any better. Rivals any craft beer pilsner on the market. |

Riwaka Pale Ale | January 6th 2017 | |
Best kit everBig bold flavours just how I like my Pale Ales. There are hops in the can so no need to dry hop. Made with extra light malt and Safe ale 05. Lovely rich malt flavour with a real punch of hops. This is my new favourite kit. |

Muntons IPA Bitter | January 5th 2017 | |
Not what you expectI made this twice as I was convinced that the first can must have had the wrong label on it. They both came out the same. It is not bitter at all, its very dark for an IPA and has no hop flavour. It's a very drinkable, just not an IPA or Bitter. |
