Brupaks Beers of the World

Post by StrangeBrew » Sat Mar 03, 2007 10:00 pm

The Brupaks Pride of Yorkshire range is often mentioned but not so much the Brupaks Beers of the World range. These single can kits are designed to make 10 litres and look to be as good a quality if not better than the Pride of Yorkshire kits although a little on the pricey side.

Has anyone tried any of these kits and if so, how did it turn out?

it's still cheaper than a night down the pub
...and a lot more fun drinking your own brew! :D

At 10 litres they are an ideal size to brew for bottling!

Smart arse :wink: :lol:

As we've said before, all two can kits can be split to make smaller batches so nothing different really.

I have just done a brupaks London bitter from the beers of the world range (Start close to home and work my way out) been bottled about 2 mths now and is very good.
As I always bottle my beer so it was a bonus not having a long session of bottle washing.
Hadn't thought of splitting a 2 can kit into 2 batches though, may try this, only down side that i can see is the need for more yeast and what hops to use in place of the ones suplied with the Brupaks kits.

Wouldn't mind trying that Brupak's Tripel. I've got a Brewferm Tripel in the fermenter at the moment so it would be interesting to compare.

Unfortunately, I've never seen the Brupak stuff here in the Netherlands and the UK mail-order companies seem to want about £30 for shipping :(

If you want to ship stuff out to the Netherlands, our charge is £14.00 and this is for a parcel up to 30Kgs so if you stock up a bit it's not so expensive. This is a 48 hour service with ParcelForce, we only charge our customers what they charge us 'm afraid.

The Beers of the World kits are excellent and definitely on a par with the Brewferm kits. Varieties like the Dubble and Trippel are definitely best when aged, so bottling is a good option. When bottling beers, safale is a good yeast to use as it gives a firm sediment in the bottle, meaning that when you open the bottle the sediment doesn't rise.

Good deal, EB.

Now all you have to do is wait for parcelFarce to do their job, Barry.

Good thing the NL is laid back..

Actually not too bad considering it already costs about £6 for shipping from the domestic suppliers. Might have to work up a shopping list close to the weight limit :)
