Hi,
Has anybody tried any of these yet?
Ill be picking up a Coopers mexican Cervesa tomorrow from the LHBS to do for the GF and quite fancy the sound of the homewrecker and might grab that as well.

Cheers!

Ok ive bit the bullet and picked a homewrecker kit up today and wiill get it underway a bit later.
In the instructions it says to rehydrate the yeast as per the instructions on the sachet and guess what??.....it s a plain silver sachet with no instructions.....doh!!

The main instructions say its a gervin ale yeast so is there a special way to hydrate it or shall i just mix it with a some wort and put it in a bottle to start?


Oh BTW at the bottom of the instruction sheet it says for any more help or info go to jims homebrew forum!!! :D

So you see im only following the instructions :D :D :D



Cheers!

I wouldn't worry. Gervin is normally a silver sachet with a sticker on it explaining the instructions etc. They must have just missed the sticker.

How many kits are in this range? I've seen 5 at Leyland but I've looked at the Milestone Brewery website and I like the sound of their Rich Ruby! Do they do this one as a kit?

I've only seen the same 5 kits too.

You're right about the Ruby, it is very nice! ...well, it is out of the bottle... :beer:

It's nice to know that the Ruby is good, I'll look out for it! Do any of the supermarkets stock it?
