Morgans Blue Mountain Lager

I should have mentioned in my previous
review, that I used 1kg Morgans Master
Blend Lager extract malt for the
fermentables. Also used the kit yeast.

Brewed using 2 stage fermentation. (6 +
8 days). Dry hopped with Hallertau in
secondary. Apart from low carbonation,
it turned out a very nice drop indeed.
Very much a summer beer. Will do again.
(Carbonation issue was due to not bulk
priming with enough dextrose)

Coopers Original Lager

Like most reviewers, I started with this
kit because it came with my Coopers HB
Kit. Brewed & bottled using the supplied
sugar(sucrose/maltodextrin blend 1kg) &
carb drops. Sat at the really low end if
it's range (16-18° C.) for 9 days
(Winter indoor temps)
After 4 weeks in the bottle it's really
starting to come good. Taste/Aroma is a
bit light on, so next time will try
dry-hopping some Saaz. Good value kit.

Brewed it with Coopers Brew Enhancer 2
(Dex, LDME & Maltodextrin 1kg blend)
and Safale S-04 (batch size was 23
litres).
Brew temps were at the low end of the
Safale (15-17 deg C). Racked after 6
days & then 7 days in secondary. Bulk
primed with 130 grams dex (batch size
was 18 litres after racking).
SG started at 1042 & finished at 1017. I
was a bit worried that fermentation
hadn't finished & bottle bombs might
have been in order, but it was still
1017 after 10 days in the bottle.
Taste is not bad at all. It's a nicely
carbed light malty ale.
I'm not sure I would call this brew
value for money, as I spent more on the
extras than on the kit, but it turned
out ok.
Give it a try if you find it on sale.
