I've done the Punk a couple of times and it's fantastic, very very similar to Brewdog. I'm currently drinking their Shipyard which is excellent and am about to bottle the Birra Italia which I have high hopes of.
As already stated these are a great improvement over 'normal' kits, A bit more...
Yes should've said part grain, a bit more expensive than Festival but I was very impressed with the amount of ingredients and if it's any good there are plenty of others I want to try
Just brewed the Punk IPA today and it smelt fantastic, loads of hops and easy to follow instructions. Also got their Shipyard to do next so it's great to see some good feedback on here.
Normally stick to Festival and Youngs 2 pouch kits but these really look like a step up in quality
Fingers...
it’s the Razorback which is why I was reluctant to bin the lot as it’s one of my favourites but judging by the smell it looks like I dodged a bullet and it may turn out ok
Righto, it's in the bottles and it smelt fine so fingers crossed it's got a fighting chance athumb..
Will let you know when I have a slurp of it
Cheers
Thanks for the reassuring replies, much appreciated.
It certainly hasn’t stopped it fermenting , checked this morning and it’s gone off like a rocket so I guess I’ll just leave it now and see. Hopefully fixed the dodgy FV and will stick another kit in there
Thanks again
After a grueller of a day I've come home to find my FV leaking. Made a Festival kit yesterday and there was 2 litres of it all over the garage floor :mad:. Panic set in and I grabbed a brand new FV that I'd just bought and threw the rest of the 20 litres into it, only thing is I hadn't...
Use this stuff to get the paint off PeelAway | Peel Away, liquid strippers are **** these days
Electric sander using different grades of paper
Use a wood dye (only takes one coat) to colour the stairs to your preferred shade
Then finish with Polyx as mentioned above or a matt floor varnish
Easy...
Probably drank it over a 3 week period, should've just left it as it was very overpowering. Drinkable but not as enjoyable as the Festival kits I'm used to
That was my first brew and had the same problem, it was rank. I was going to swill the lot down the plughole but called into the LHBS and he told me to do what everyone has done so far - store it away and forget about it for a few weeks. It will get better but there are better kits out there...
