Geordie Scottish Export Brew

Post by DC » Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:20 pm

Hi all, After a few years off from brewing my own beer I have started brewing a few batches of wine and I have just done a Geordie Scottish Export brew, It has been in my pressure barrell for a week and I could not resist trying a pint or four :roll: After the 1st couple of mouthfuls I remembered why I went from kit brewing to AG :wink: I dont know what it is but once you have tasted an AG beer and then going back to kit brewing, it just dont taste the same :shock: . But I wanted to brew 40 pints in a hurry so I went for the Geordie Scottish Export kit, and after 4 pints and (considering its a kit) it has turned out okay, it is crystal clear after just 1 week in the barrel and the head stays until the bottom of the glass. It will probably get better if I can manage to leave it to mature for a few weeks (NOT :roll: ) Its the usual case of not enough beer brewing/conditioning to allow new beers too mature. Going to start AG when I get my Mashtun and boiler sorted.

Just to clarify that Geordie Scottish Export Kit is not a bad kit.

Cheers :wink:

Couldn't agree more.
As I've posted plenty of times in the past, this was the first kit I brewed when I got back into this in June. Took 3 weeks as I used the kit yeast, and the only concession to "modern kit brewing" that I made was to use brewers sugar instead of regular granulated. But stuff me silly was it a nice pint! So far it's still my favourite, Vina Traditional Lager not bad, Black Rock Miners Stout very nice, Geordie Mild with honey needs a bit more time, John Bull London Porter looking good, but that Export? Perfect.
