Coopers Mexican Cerveza by Boingk @ 11, May 2008
Made to be an easy drinking, refreshing beer...and thats what it was! Kit plus 600g dextrose and 200g each of dried malt extract and maltodextrin. Primed with white sugar, and after 10 days it was showing up quite well. Used kit yeast @ 18-20'C. Rack to secondary and you'll love the clarity. Very light colour and body, still retains a slight head though. All my mates said it was an excellent drop!

Tooheys Draught by Boingk @ 11, Apr 2008
Kit was brewed with Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 [500g Dextrose, 250 each of Maltodextrin & Light Dried malt Extract] and 10g Cluster hops simmered for 10 minutes. Fermented with kit yeast at 18-20'C, and after 3 weeks has become a nice drinkable brew. Not bad at all in my opinion, and if you're a fan of Tooheys New then this is the place to start - easy, cheap & very drinkable. If this kit isn't treated well it will be ordinary, so be warned! 4 stars.

GENERIC - Homebrand Lager by Boingk @ 08, Apr 2008
Same old story - two cans bought cheap, and bunged in the fermenter with US-05 yeast. Came out quite well, with a crisp finish to the taste. Only improves with age. 3 stars.

Farmland Draught by Boingk @ 08, Apr 2008
Bought two cans of this on special and made up a QCN [quick, cheap & nasty] brew. Added 12g Hallertau after steeping for 10 minutes or so, and used both kit yeasts. Surprisingly good after 3 weeks in the bottle - a dark, heavy bodied beer with a creamy head and solid bitterness. For 50c a longneck you can't go wrong! 3 stars.

TCB Wetpak - Classic Oak Ale by Boingk @ 08, Apr 2008
First off - great kit! Big tin of hopped malt extract, plus specialty grain, hops...and in this case oak chips! Easy to follow instructions and when made and matured, a great beer. Interesting first few sips, but the oak flavour mellows with time [and consumption!]. For those wanting a slightly less oakey ale, perhaps use onyl half the provided chips. Overall a very good beer - 4 stars

Morgans Australian Draught by Boingk @ 08, Mar 2008
Made up with 650g Light Dried Malt and 300g Dextrose, also steeped 12g Cluster hop pellets for ~10 minutes in a mug of boiling water prior to throwing them into the fermenter. Used US-05 and fermented at around 21-24'C [damn heat wave!]. Result after only a few weeks in the bottle is quite good - a nice, refreshing beer with a bright body and crisp taste. The bitterness was harsh early on but has mellowed, becoming crisp and agreeable. Good kit, will use the line again!

Cascade Chocolate Mohogany Porter by Boingk @ 23, Feb 2008
I followed Wassa's suggestion that this one be done as a honey porter, and used 1kg of liquid chocolate malt extract and 500g of yellowbox honey, as well as 20g of Cascade hops steeped for 15 min prior to throwing in the fermenter. Used US-05 yeast @ 20'C. After a month this is great stuff, and it only improves with age. 4 stars here, give it a go

Wal's Lager 1.7kg by Boingk @ 20, May 2007
Used the kit plus 500g light dried malt, and 250 each of dextrose and maltodextron. Added 12g of Tettnanger hops after a 10 minute steep in boiling water. Yeast was Saflager. Fermentation would have been 17'C average. Came out with a beautifully clear, well bodied, flavoursome beer! Held its head very nicely, and was probably one of my best so far. No hesitations in making again. 5 star brew.

X-TRACT Lager 3kg by Boingk @ 20, May 2007
Used the kit with a Saflager S24 yeast, and 12g Hallertau [9% aa] steeped for 10 minutes prior to adding to fermenter. Came out beautifully, with nice clear body, good hop taste and excellent head holding and formation. Fermentation would have been 16~18'C for the majority of it. Primed with 6g/750ml. Maybe only 5g/750ml next time. Four stars for sure!
