E.S.B Pilsner Fresh Wort Kit
by kitkat @ 21, Aug 2006

 5/5

Made with Wyest Pilsen Lager Yeast (#2007), 20g saaz 5' hop tea, made to 20 liters, OG 1040, FG 1006, fermented outside in Melbourne (5-15 degrees). A very good brew even just 2 weeks after bottling, it will be gone pretty soon. I'll do it again next winter (no brewfridge).
 
Grumpys CLASSIC ENGLISH DRAUGHT
by kitkat @ 18, Jun 2006

 3/5

Made to specs with dry yeast, took a long time to ferment due to cooling temps. It's OK, it's not a bad beer, but I guess it's me and I am not a huge fan of the taste, hence the "average". Unless you've done all the other masterbrews and that's the last one you want to try, pick something else, in my opinion.
 
Grumpys SUPERIOR BROWN ALE
by kitkat @ 11, Sep 2005

 4/5

made with Grumpy's Low (20) IBU extract and SAF 33 (ale), 22 liters, OG 1042, FG 1014, nice taste, gets better with age. No idea if it's close to a newkie brown, but it's very tasty and perfect for winter :)
 
Grumpys BOSTON CREAM
by kitkat @ 11, Sep 2005

 5/5

BC + Grumpy High IBU (30) extract, lager yeast SAF 34/70, 23 liters, 10 days primary, 5 days secondary, OG 1044, FG 1014. Tastes absolutely gorgeous, my best HB so far (it was my 8th, made a few grumpy's lagers since, not tried yet), I'll definitely order at least 2 more to brew with an ale yeast in spring, for summer.
 
E.S.B Irish Red Fresh Wort Kit
by KitKat @ 30, Apr 2005

 5/5

Brewed with 1098 British Ale yeast, 19 liters, OG 1042, FG 1010, 7 days primary, 8 days secondary, 18 days in bottle now: beautiful, chocolaty flavour present and very nice, smooth, my best HB so far. I'd say I'll do it again, but first I have all the other fresh worts to try ... :)
 
Coopers Australian Pale Ale
by Kitkat @ 28, Mar 2005

 4/5

Made with Brewcraft Pale Ale convertor (#76, DME (?) + unknown hops for 5 mins boil), SAFAle yeast,OG 1046 FG 1010, 1 week fermentation, 1 week secondary. Great taste after just 5 days, after 2 weeks it is even better. Only problem is that I'm having carbonation issues with the longnecks, and didn't make enough stubbies to last me until the longnecks carbonate :)
 
Coopers Original Lager
by Kitkat @ 12, Mar 2005

 3/5

As others, did it because it came with the kit. When to LHBS to get SAFlager and brewcraft german lager converter pack, boiled pack + hops. Fermented at 22+ (doh! didn't know). Primary 7 days, secondary 7 days, primed with coopers carbonation drop. After 3 weeks, decent taste (no idea what was in the converter pack), but almost no carbonation, just a bit of head when I pour to make one (ie splash). Carbonation has improved a bit though, so maybe another couple of weeks will make it better.
