\this is a great golden ale. I don't buy it as an all grain kit just use the recipe with a better yeast. I brew it at least 3 times a year. https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/dennis-kings-galaxy-delight/

The last 3 sacks I bought were Simpsons MO does cost a bit more the the depth of flavour I find worth it.

As I started in the 1970s if I had started with kits so I probably would not have got past a few brews without giving up. I did 2 extract brews then onto AG. I would say start with extract where you need just a few basic bits of equipment that you can carry over to AG. I have a library of over...
