GENERIC - Homebrand Draught by robboholic @ 06, Feb 2008
I live in Brisbane Australia and was interesting in testing out this generic kit during the 30 deg celcius temperatures. OG 1038 25L water 1kg Brown Sugar and 250g of dextrose. Approx alc/vol 4.7%, FG 1005. I am very impressed, definately a true draught taste at only two weeks conditioned in the bottle. Light on body and can be slammed down real fast. Zero head though if you like a beer with head. I would be very confident of brewing this in the higher temp's with good results. Only downside is that the yeast sediment does not compact as well as a cooper's yeast, however i don't mind a cloudy beer when i near the finish of the bottle, just poor gently to avoid yeast deposit like any home brew.

Coopers Bitter by Robboholic @ 30, Jan 2008
I've brewed four of these now, has become my staple. It is very dark and carries the traditional bitter style flavour with good head. I have added 27L of water to my next one to lighten the colour a bit, I am using brown sugar 1kg and 250g of dextrose for the extra water (dissolved on the stove). The brown sugar carries molasses so it gives better malty flavour and body than dextrose alone. I am interested to see and will post on my experiment with the 27L.

Tooheys Lager by Robboholic @ 11, Jan 2008
Brewed with 1kg of dextrose only, no bells or whistles at 22-26 deg cel for 6 days, bottled for two weeks, is very drinkable at this stage in contrast to the coopers lager which is still very strong in fruity in flavour at 4 weeks, good for those who like light tasting beers to be guzzled quickly in the heat.
