Grumpys REPUBLICAN DARK ALE
by Guran @ 22, Feb 2005

 4/5

I've made this twice, once with the supplied safale, the second time with Wyeast 1098. The first time was my first MB, and I burnt it a little on the boil. The result wasn't too bad ( a week in CC, and now about 3 months in the bottle). The second time I had a lot more control over the boil and it tasted superb on bottling - less edgy than with the safale yeast. Yet to taste carbonated version - it's only been in the bottle three days!
 
Grumpys DOUBLE HOP PALE ALE
by Guran @ 24, Jan 2005

 4/5

Made to specifications with safale dry yeast (2x sachets in 300mL of luke warm water with a tsp of malt from the masterbrew pack) and Grumpy's medium bitterness pale malt extract (1.7 kg). Fermentation took off very promptly (within 3 hrs) but forgot to take OG! Fermentation completed within five days, but left till 7th to rack and CC. FG was 1014. CC for 5 days, then bulk primed (160g caster sugar) and bottled 19 litres on 9/1/05. Still immature at this time, but tasting very promising!
 
Black Rock Dry Lager
by Guran @ 10, Jan 2005

 2/5

I got a Stella Artois clone recipe off a home-brewing site which called for this kit to be used. The exact recipe I don't recall, but it involved using Hallertau hops, extra dry light malt and dextrose, and saflager yeast. The result was so-so, which makes me fear for the result you would get using the kit alone. Overall impression: not impressed.
