Beermakers Draught
by Sasquatch @ 14, Apr 2007

 4/5

I quite like this one... not the best kit in the world, but very affordable, and nice and dry on the finish. Head retention is quite good. I like this beer done with 2 cans in about 30 L of water. The kit yeast is fine, but doesn't settle out as well as, say, Nottingham or even Cooper's, as a comparable dry yeast. I always have this on the shelf - kind of the unspectacular old standby house beer.
 
Cream Ale

 5/5

This comes out very similar to Kilkenny from Ireland. And that's a damn fine thing, my friends.
 
Red Ale

 5/5

Fabulous kit BANG ON for style... remarkably crisp for kit beer. Really good flavour, and basically a kit that I would buy over and over.
 
Morgans Iron Bark Dark Ale
by Sasquatch @ 27, Jan 2006

 4/5

I did the IBD in with some amber DME, and some dextrose, and I boiled up about a half pound of Black Patent, and gave er a little handful of Cascades for the last 10 minutes of the boil. Result is a really smooth and mellow dark ale. No sharp corners, and a lingering malty aftertaste. Great kit, I'm very happy with the result. Not "Portery" like some dark beers... a very nicely balanced drink. I'm glad I bought two cans, I'll probably do the same thing again... maybe I'll do some bittering hops in a longer boil.
 
Morgans Yukon Brown Smoked Ale
by Sasquatch @ 22, Jan 2006

 2/5

I did a double-can batch of this stuff, hoping for super-beer. What I got was ridiculously malty, but managed to be totally thin in the mouth. All traces of smokiness were wiped by the malt. Perhaps brewing accoding to the instructions would improve this one, but I won't try it again. Only batch of homebrew I've ever pitched out, thinking, "I'm just never ever gonna drink this"
 
Morgans Canadian India Pale Ale
by Sasquatch @ 22, Jan 2006

 3/5

I haven't tasted this kit yet, but it looks like typical good stuff from Morgan's. The beer is a bit darker than the original (Alexander Keith's) it is supposedly a clone of. One thing I was quite annoyed about was that the yeast supplied merely said "Yeast" - neither Morgan's lager or ale yeast. So what the hell is it?
 
Coopers Australian Bitter
by Sasquatch @ 22, Jan 2006

 4/5

I did a can of this Bitter with 50:50 dextrose and amber DME and at first was kind of disappointed with the result. But after three weeks in the bottle the beer turned the corner (as beer usually seems to at three weeks for me) and now I'm quite impressed. Taste is very similar to Old Speckled Hen. It is a bit thinner in body. Perfectly decent base kit, as usual from Cooper's. They are not fancy, but seem quite reliable.
