This is probably my favourite drop,
always good, I found it tastes better
with a straight 1kg dry light malt
rather than the dextrose, corn syrup,
malt mixes.

I made this kit beer with just the 1kg
of dextrose, I must say after 5 weeks it
a good tasting beer, I'm finding that
typical of the muntons CONNOISSEURS
RANGE.
These beer's can be cracked at 3-4
weeks, where alot of the other kits
can't. I'd say with additions this
beer will just get better, look forward
to putting this one down again and
playing with hops and malt.

Awesome kit!! Even though used it with
#15 lager
enhancer just to give an experiment and
also super
alpha hops and 300gms of crystal malt
grain it gives a
redish tone, is smooth, good gas and
keeps head with
nice small bubbles. Best kit ever for
this style of beer
just use good ingredients with it

Muntons Yorkshire Bitter
by Mark

I've made this about a dozen times as
per the instructions & bottled. A really
good pint of ale. Worth the extra few
bucks to get an english bitter that
tastes like real english bitter. Only
problem is stopping yourself from
drinking it after a fortnight because if
you are patient it tastes even better
after a couple of months.

If you're looking for a smooth,
inoffensive bitter, this might be the
go. Although you'll have to justify the
extra few $ to the domestic authorities.
Give her a taste, she just might like
it. Lovely colour, bit short on flavour,
but getting close to the territory of
the real thing. You'll want to mod it
to get a better result. Mmm, could
probably get just as good an ale modding
some local kits.
Cheaper too.

Good Winter Drinking

Made with 1kg local HBS malt mix, LDM,
Corn Syrup & Dextrose) fermented at 24C
for 10 days then bottled. So smooth with
hints of toffee and caramel after only 3
weeks, it's easy to see why Muntons
have such a good reputation. Recommended
for the warmer months.

A superb beer. Used the kit yeast but
reduced the volume just a tad (well, to
about 12 litres, if memory serves
correct!). The only thing I added was
some Hallertau hop pellets for
flavouring. Not exactly to style, I
know, but it worked.
Result = a crystal malt charged dark
bitter with ridiculously little effort
that drinks well after just one month's
bottle conditioning. Muntons obviously
use quality ingredients to produce a
beer like this from a tin of extract.
The malt must be first-rate,and the
yeast is certainly up to the job as
well. Recommended, provided you get a
fresh can. Has hints of complexity you
rarely get with an extract based beer,
yet is honest and unpretentious, as
befits a Yorkshire bitter.

A bit pricey but v. good

Made with yeast supplied, 23l water, 1kg
dry malt and 12g Fuggles hops bag
(steeped 10 mins then added to
fermenter). Fantastic, well balanced,
smooth, easy to drink ale. Similar to an
Irish Red. Would definitely make again.
