a good quality all malt kit plus water , electric etc and taking into account that you don't actually get 40 pints out of a kit , I reckon runs out to a bout 70p a pint , you can certainly buy some supermarket beer in that price range. But it's a good hobby non brewers think your clever and I...

Long time (15 years ) , beer kit brewer here. IMO there is nothing that will improve a beer kit more than using malt instead of brewing sugar. There really is no comparison in quality

Hi All, I have not posted on here for a long time but the kit brewing still goes on and I think will be with me for life. :cheers: If you are new to brewing with kits the best advice i can give you is that time in the bucket and time in the bottle solves most problems. Home brew beer got a...

Woodefordes are good kits but not particularly better than any of the other 3kg kits. Stick to the all malt kits choose a type of beer you enjoy, try to let the beer mature a couple of months and you will be fine

Another sucessful brew. Really smooth and tastes quite strong :party: ( and this has only been bottled for 2 weeks!) The good news is I do not seem to be able to find a bad 3kg kit :clap:

I dont understand extract brewing. I know that all malt beer kits ( 3kg ones ). taste great and are easy to do. the secret they must be all malt kits . simple! :party:

Never seen to have had this problem and I have always used 2ltr pop bottles ( 10 years ). I take it you decant your brew into a jug first if not that might be the problem

Just had my first bottle at the weekend. Excellent!!! However bad news ! both my wife and my dad likes it :roll:

Old Peculiar Gold label Barley wine Guiness orginal Newcastle Brown Ale Abbott Ale

I agree its not best practice, btw if you are still working in those manky factories don't forget to sterilise your hands :D

I understand your point AT, But I would have to say that I have bottled beer in pop bottles for 10 years and never had this a problem

if you remember I had an excited first fermentation of this brew. Well its been bottled for 2 weeks and typical of the child in me I always try a bottle of a new kit asap. Well its excellent as good as I have ever done :party: 12 out of 10 etc etc. Oh the second bottle has been opened whoops...

I would say no. I use lemonade and cola bottles I rinse them out and bottle my beer and I dont seem to have had a problem. Sterilisation is to me quite a strange term to me when most of us ( I assume ) use tap water to top up our buckets. There is nothing wrong with tap water but sterile it...

BTW a great gift idea

Basically all the 3kg kits will do the job very well indeed. Find what kind of beer he prefers and buy him a 3 kg kit for that kind of beer

Beaverdale shiraz is excellent.

I had a pm asking me which types of kits I wanted but I seem to have a problem sending PM's so heres a copy. Sorry to have caused any confusion. We were going to put together the order next week. but as I understand it there are 6 beer kits in the range and on every site i have been on they are...

hank you forthe link

Yes I prefer to bottle my beer. I use 2 litre pop bottles and store them in the dark. It seems to work fine

As some of you know I am very frustrated by the lack of competition and offers in the home brew market. It did occur to me that there might be some owners of brewing shops who visit this forum. So: Me and my mate are going to buy next week 6 Muntons Gold ( 3 kg ) Kits delivered to one location...
