I'm on my second brew now, done a woodfordes Wherry and have a modified Great eastern in my FV.
I was looking at which kit to brew next but as I like all forms of beer (ale, larger, stout... although i am an IPA drinker most of the time) there is a dizzying array of kits available!
The online catalogue for my local HB shop for instance has 83 different premium kits and over 100 different beer kits in total.
So i really don't know what to try next.
I was wondering what are peoples favourite 2 or 3 kits they have brewed? i understand people will rate kits differently and it is a matter of taste but whether it be cost, taste, reliability or whatever i'm interested to know others experiences?
Certainly coopers stout always seems to get alot of good responces.

Doesn't make a brew to knock ye spark out in ye arm chair. But this is good. Because it tastes too good to leave alone!

Re: Favorite beer kits
Just make sure you have something under your FV because this stuff explodes.
You will enjoy.

Brupaks Fixby gold and Colne valley bitter are both well worth a go.
