I've done the ESB with spraymalt, it was a while ago but I reckon that's option 2, IIRC.

To be honest, it was okay, but not as good as I expected, given the reputation of the Brupaks kits. It's quite strong, but it tasted a bit thin for the strength, which does seem odd given the amount of fermentables that goes into it. The one I made was also quite bitter, but without enough of the hop flavour that usually goes with it.

It's not a cheap kit, and I've tasted better results. I'd be interested in anyone else's opinions, perhaps I had a duff one? :?
