Cascade Golden Harvest Lager
by Gavin @ 12, Feb 2006

 2/5

I mixed the kit with a 1kg pack of Coopers Brew Enhancer 2, 20g of Hallertau hops, and I used the yeast that came with the kit - Bohemian yeast. It seemed to ferment OK once it got going, which was after about 48 hours. I racked to secondary at 7 days for a further 7 days, and added gelatine finings in secondary. The result - well, I have beer. It is nice and clear, but, well there is a lot lacking. If you like a beer with little flavour and body, then this beer is for you. If you like something with a little more flavour then you are going to have to be pretty aggressive with the additives. The Hallertau went no where near being sufficient. I would start by assuming that very few hops have been added in the kit, and instead of using sugar, try dry malt extract or a double kit.
 
Malt Shovel Two-Row Lager
by Gavin @ 10, Jan 2005

 3/5

Found this to be too malty, makes quite a chunky beer. Have since blended with a straight pale malt and doubled the volume with great results.
