EDME or Geordie?

Post by MartialAnt » Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:50 pm

Now im a homebrew junkie and cant stop it, which should i buy?
EDME Superbrew Gold Lager or Geordie Lager?

It'll be 2 cans + kilo of LME.

Also, any idea of how strong it would turn out? Rough guesstimate anyone.

The Edme I just brewed fermented out in 3-4 dyas using LME. Smells nice too.

I'm just about to fire up my Edme Superbrew Gold having spent 5 years away from home brewing.
I've quite a critical palet when it comes to lager and Edme is spot on.

BTW, using Edme wasn't an educated choice, but I found out via one friend who's a supplier that the local home brew lager champ used this kit.

Sounds strange I know and no doubt he 'tweaked' things, but it worked.

Godd enough for me :D

Sounds like Edme is the next one to go with. I shall give it a go as soon as i keg this batch.

Ive got a Coopers IPA in Fv and got an SG of 1048, if your Fv is only 1036 then i imagine it will taste weak. I always have some glucose on hand for when i check the SG, if its below 1045ish then ill put some more glucose in, imho there is no point brewing shandy.

All the coopers kits ive tried have been the best you get for a one tin kit, you have to go to 2 can kits to get a fuller flavour.

I like the styles in the EDME range and wouldnt mind having a go at the Brown Ale. I made up their Barley Wine kit and it turned out good.
