Good once matured
by vitalogy

Made using 500g of LDME and a 1kg
Cooper's BE2. Fermented with kit yeast
at around 20 degrees. Didn't take
gravity readings due to a broken
hydrometer.
I didn't think a lot of this one at the
2-4 week mark. However, I left most of
the bottles until 8 months before
drinking and it's now really good. All
the sharp flavours have mellowed, and
it's now a really nice bitter. Great
head which lasts until the bottom of the
glass. Nice bitter finish. Will
definitely do this again.

Nice Brew

Brewed this with 500g Amber DME, 500g
Light DME, 2 East Kent Goldings hop
plugs and the kit (Muntons) yeast to 20
litres. Fermented 9 days at 18°C then
racked for 2 days secondary before
kegging at 10psi. Not at all a bad drop
for a dump'n'stir.

Good Bitter
by Bruce

This is a 1.8kg kit. I brewed it with
1kg dry pale malt, 150g maltodextrin and
150g crystal malt, 15g goldings for
aroma. OG 1040 FG 1010 Volume 24l Yeast
safale 56. Pleasantly surprised with
this kit, it is well hopped, tasted
fresh and produced a simple but very
drinkable bitter with an indestructible
head. However, my recipe did produce a
strong caramel taste and aroma from the
crystal (it did lessen with maturation).
I will definitely brew this kit again,
but will use a lighter crystal grain
next time to lessen the caramel. The
maltodextrin probably wasn’t needed.
