Re: Geordie Yorkshire Bitter
This is my regular kit, made with 50/50 sugar and Spraymalt. It makes a flavoursome session ale at about 3.8/4.0%. Would be interested to know how you get on. I'm also happy with the Geordie Bitter and Geordie Mild, but less so with the Scottish Export and I haven't bothered with the lager kit for many years.

Add hops. This sort of kit is late hop deficient. It'll make a big difference.

Do any of you kit lads treat water with 1/2 a campden tablet to remove chlorine?

No - our water comes from the Black Mountains and is moderately soft without any trace of chemical. Have never had any unpleasant aftertaste.BarnsleyBrewer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:57 pmDo any of you kit lads treat water with 1/2 a campden tablet to remove chlorine?

Draw 15 litres or so from the hot water tap and let it cool overnight, other water boiled to rinse extract from tin - campden tablets not used.BarnsleyBrewer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:57 pmDo any of you kit lads treat water with 1/2 a campden tablet to remove chlorine?

My acquaintances congratulate me on the beer I make from kits... Could be because they are drinking free beer!
Beer is my drug of choice.
I don't need anger management classes, I need people to stop pissing me off.
No beer, no fun - know beer, know FUN!
Carrots may be good for your eyes but alcohol is better as it gives you double vision!

Not brewed a kit for 20+ years, I cut my brewing teeth on Tom Caxtons lager kits in the 80's....Nitro Jim wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 6:01 pmDraw 15 litres or so from the hot water tap and let it cool overnight, other water boiled to rinse extract from tin - campden tablets not used.BarnsleyBrewer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:57 pmDo any of you kit lads treat water with 1/2 a campden tablet to remove chlorine?

I hear some of the higher end brews nowadays are quite good, especially if used alongside DME instead of white sugar...
A guy on here "WalesAles" does very good kit stouts..
