Have just cracked open my second bottle of this. In primary for 4-5 weeks due to holidays, then bottled and conditioned for about 6 weeks (which is quite short for me). Pungent hoppy aroma with nice malty sweetness. 10/10. One of the best kits I've done, maybe even the best.
I've decided I'm...
I'm so pleased with this kit I ordered 3 more Young's kits over the weekend. They are streets ahead of the Muntons kits and actually very good value IMHO if you consider the quality. Plus in addition to instructions that actually make sense and a very generous helping of hop pellets they give...
Still have about 10 bottles left from my stash I started in February. Hop aroma ever so slightly less pronounced but still very very nice. Stash will be gone in less than 2 weeks. :-(
Have just cracked open my first bottle of this - 3 weeks in primary, 7 weeks bottle conditioning.
Best beer I've brewed so far.
A bit like Brew dog Punk IPA or Devil's Backbone IPA but better.
Well done, Young's!
Thanks for all your advice on when to drink everyone. Will cracking first bottle open after 2 months and start working my way through.
How I love this hobby!
Saw these online today - like Slid I can't believe they come with the typical Muntons 6g yeast! Given that you have to buy the yeast separately to avoid the stuck kit issue it's not as good a deal.
Has anyone started the Muntons yeast petition mentioned on here a few months ago?
Bottled it this week and am planning to let it condition for my usual 10-12 weeks before touching it (have quite a bit of stock to see me through until then) Will this result in too much loss of hop flavour? Any views on this?
