Good Honey
by axle - Email Reviewer @ 27, Feb 2006 |

|
can + brew enhancer 1 + 500g honey
($5/kg from side of road - no idea what
it is) to 20L. First time I've tried
honey and it is coming along fine. Not
much other flavour but the honey comes
out really well.
Took an age to start and finish
regardless of the heat (almost ran out
of hb waiting). Could benefit from
different yeast I suppose.

Fails to impress
by Gavin - Email Reviewer @ 12, Feb 2006 |

I mixed the kit with a 1kg pack of
Coopers Brew Enhancer 2, 20g of
Hallertau hops, and I used the yeast
that came with the kit - Bohemian yeast.
It seemed to ferment OK once it got
going, which was after about 48 hours. I
racked to secondary at 7 days for a
further 7 days, and added gelatine
finings in secondary.
The result - well, I have beer. It is
nice and clear, but, well there is a lot
lacking. If you like a beer with little
flavour and body, then this beer is for
you. If you like something with a little
more flavour then you are going to have
to be pretty aggressive with the
additives. The Hallertau went no where
near being sufficient. I would start by
assuming that very few hops have been
added in the kit, and instead of using
sugar, try dry malt extract or a double
kit.

Good Lager

Have sampled another brew of this that
was fermented with 1kg of LME and 12gm
Hallertau finishing hops.
Still continues to impress. Good dry
hoppy lager.

Great Lager
by Wassa - Email Reviewer @ 02, May 2005 |

Put this brew down with just 1kg of CSR
brewing sugar. Fermented during heat of
summer and bottled. Left 3 months to
taste.
Initially thought the brew was extremely
sweet, but after 4 months brew was nice
and crisp with good hops coming
through.
Have since put down with 1kg of light
dry malt and cascade finishing hops.
Can't wait to try.

Great Pale Ale

I made this kit with 1.5Kg Light DME
boiled with 15g of Hallertau hops for 15
mins. Pitched with SafAle S-05 yeast and
fermented for 10 days. Racked straight
to keg from primary. A nice pale ale
from a lager kit.
