Best Kits.

Post by guest5234 » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:25 pm

Is there any sites were Kits are rated by members? If not how about a forum on here.
I like the wood fords kits but have found the new coopers lager heritage very good indeed, anyone else have a favourite?

The last kit I made was a couple of years ago.

It was the Woodfordes Great Eastern Ale and I have to admit that I was impressed. It was very malty but had a pronounced better hoppy finish. Infact I had a few pints of draft Abbot Ale in Peebles a few weeks and ago and it reminded my of the Great Eastern Ale.

I have never tried brupacks, any good?

Brill, does all that really make much difference to the taste compared to just following the instructions on the tin?

Fixby for me also, though Woodfordes Nelson's Revenge comes a close second 8)

i've just cracked open a bottle of made from a Geordie Lager kit. lovely!! only made about 16 litres instead of the 23. actually well primed and full bodied. the missus says it looks like Hoegarden (think i've spelt it wrong sorry) which can't be a bad thing. for a cheap lager kit well impressed.
