Old thread but someone may get reassurance from my experience. I've done this kit twice, first time I got 4.7% ABV, second time 4.6% ABV. That's further off Young's claim than brewing variables would account for so I think their 6.3% claim is misleading. It's a good kit though, although only...

On the other hand if I have a nightwhen I need to get ****** quick I know where to come.

Evil Dog Double IPA. Bit underwhelmed. Can taste that it's strong, but the taste isn't as good as many other IPA kits I've done.

When I started giving blood, back in 1977, you could choose a can of Mackeson as your recovery drink afterwards. Nowadays, you get lectures about alcohol.

Guinness isn't even my favourite Irish stout. I've drunk it all the way down the west coast of Ireland and it tasted the same to me. (This was thirty years ago though). The West Indies Porter is far better.

I've done four of their beer kits. They recommend using Starbrite, twice I have, twice I haven't and wished I had. Very slow to clear. Months.

From Hamas themselves. You cannot negotiate with these people.

I've done this kit three times, exactly per MJ instructions. SGs 1050 1046 1050. FGs 1012 1012 1012.

On the other hand, I will be doing this one again. It's all a matter of tastes. I've done forty-one kits now and only fifteen are on my repeat list. I always brew to the instructions.

Well, it's not an Alfa Sud because that wreck is rear wheel drive. Alfa, 'Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili', not the Greek 'alpha'.

Alfa Romeo AlfaSud.

They are a poor substitute for fried bread.

I did this one a year or more ago. Always felt as if I'd drunk a pint of rum after one. Couldn't find anyone who liked it, even a rum-drinking friend. The only beer of the 36 brews I've done so far that went down the sink.
