My bitter is ready to bottle, but I completely forgot to do the dry hop and I go on holiday in a couple of days. So I'm just going to make a hop tea from the included hop pellets and add that along with the sugar in to the secondary before bottling.
I'll run the hop tea through a coffee filter first to give it a chance at being clear.
Then it can carbs up for a couple of weeks whilst I am away and hopefully be ready for a wee taste when I get back!
 
Are these the said B&M IPA Kits?

Super. The Range also do a 40 pint kit of IPA by the same manufacturer.... I am guessing it isn't the same as these i got today?
 
Not bought one myself but as far as I know they're not the same kit. They are made by the same manufacturer but the range kits don't include the dry hops or the dextrose

Cheers. Tom
 
the range kits don't include the dry hops
Some have hops now and have a "Now with real hops!" type announcement on the bag that I found funny for some reason.

OOoh - linky me doo, and it includes these B&M kits - Now with natural hops!

It calls the B&M kits half batch kits so I think the 11.5 litres / 20 pints is the target. Which is nice.

Hmmmm what can view mean about "real" hops? Be nice to think they've upped the spec on them.
Anyone tried the range kits lately?

Cheers. Tom
 
The American Ipa is pretty nice even drunk young and cloudy. Ferment 5 days. Dry hop 2 days force carb for 24 hours at 30 psi. Lovely.

just tried a bottle of my second real ale kit. I made it with a kilo of mashed pale malt instead of the dextrose that came in the box.
bit of a disappointment compared to the first one that was as per instruction.
no hoppy-ness at all. bland and only 3%

Posts like this make me want to come out of retirement! clapa clapa

I made a good living out of telling production operators to "Read the fecking Manual." whenever they had a problem! :thumb:

Look on the bright side. You have learned two valuable lessons:
  1. "Experimentation will occasionally result in failure."
  2. "It may not be palatable but it is still drinkable."
I guess it happens to everyone who tries something different. I broke my own 2+2+2 rule and had a quick sip of my own B&M Bitter (Dry Hopped with Perle); and it's still as bitter as the milk from a witches tit! aheadbutt
 
Was passing my local B&M earlier, so nipped in to check out availability. Lots of lager, but I managed to find the last Real Ale kit, to add to the IPA kit that I already have in the cupboard. Will put one on, as soon as I have room in my brewfridge.
 
I picked up 2 ipa's the other day from my local and they had a shelf full of ipa, real ale and the lager. I put both the ipa's in today and brewed to 20l. will see how it turns out but from what I've heard they are pretty good my og was 1.056.
