Twice is a charm...?
by MiG5
@ 09, May 2007 |

The first time I made this, the batch
barely survived 2 months past bottling;
mind you, it was summer. It was made
with US56 Yeast, a handful of Saaz in
the boil and a Fuggles teabag at the
end. I rushed out and bought another.
It's autumn and the second batch is now
in a glass in front of me, a month old;
pretty much when I cracked into the last
lot. This batch is again the kit and a
kilo of dextrose, however this time with
15g NZ Bullets for bittering and some
Hallertau for aroma at the end. Also,
this time I used S04 as the yeast. It's
good and it's drinkable, maybe a bit
thin. There's some caramel flavour
going on, but it's subdued, overall the
malt is pretty smooth, not too weighty,
nothing outstanding. I don't think
I'll be rushing out again.

Added CBE2, 40g crystal, 20g choc, 14g
Hallertau pellets. Brewed with kit yeast
for 10 days @ 20-26 degC. Well rounded,
flavoursome beer after 4 weeks, colour
clear golden-brown, lighter than I'd
expected. Done same recipe previously
using a cultured yeast from a Coopers
Sparkling Ale and brewed 6 days @ 26-32
degC with similar pleasing results.

Not Good

First kit I have done for months, used a
brew bag with british ale 1098. Colour
is good, flavour is lacking hops and is
rather sweet, not good at all.

drinking beer, great for summer.

Was given this kit as a gift.
Made with 2kg of liquid malt extract and
added 20gms Fuggles Hops tea to primary,
kit yeast.
Left to ferment for 10 days and
bottled.
Results were OK , probably wouldn't
make again
