Well this one has taken a little while to mature but its my fault. I left it in the warm for a long time after it was bottled before moving it to a nice cool cupboard. I tried a few soon after they went into the cool place and while they were ok, they had a bit of a home brew taste to them...

Hi Guys, I like my beer, but here's the thing, when someone describes as beer as Hoppy or Malty I don't know what that tastes like. Using commercial beers such as Stella, Guinness ect, could you give me (several) examples of a beer that is particularly Hoppy or Malty (not both that will only...

Thanks Guys

Hi, I have a brew on the go in a FV, its close to being finished but not quite. I now have to be away from home (not planned) for a couple of weeks, will it be a problem to leave it in the FV till I come back? Will the recent hot weather cause a problem? I've maged to keep the temp at 24...

Hi Vossy, Thanks for the answer. I did a nice stout from Muntons which I would like to repeat, so perhaps I will put it in the cornie next time. My only slight problem is that I haven't got a cooler for the cornie. Its in the coolest room in the house, but even this can get warm in the summer...

Hi, I still regard myself as having L plates when it comes to beer making, but I have found that the beers I have bottled are better than the one I put in the cornie. Of course it could just be that there was a problem with that one brew (Coopers Wheat Beer). In general, are there beers that do...

Fantastic, just what I was hoping for still got a few days left in the FV then into bottles. Cheers

Hi, I was looking for an easy to drink summer lager and went for Muntons Gold Continental Pilsner. These kits are very easy to make, essentially just add water and yeast. Started yesterday with SG just under 1040. This morning its bubbling away and all seems well, current temperature about 21...

Hey Brooky, Have a look at this viewtopic.php?f=58&t=22385 This one went crazy as well. Best beer I've brewed so far. Cheers

As others have said this is a great kit and the results superb, in my opinion this is better than Guinness. I just followed the instructions but beware, this kit goes crazy in the first couple of days. If you dont have much headroom above the liquid in your FV, put the FV in a container or put...

:lol: Its an extra element of entertainment

Your welcome, check out the picture I posted here viewtopic.php?f=21&t=19252 Cheers

Hi, Drinking Muntons Imperial Stout at the moment. I would say its better than Guinness, it has some great flavours and a good head (brown head) Not too strong. I would definitely brew again. One word of warning, when this started fermenting in the bucket the froth grew really quickly and...

Drinking this now, a very nice drop. I just stuck with the instructions. Cheers,

+1 for star San Good, quick and easy to measure Cheers

For me its not all about out and out alcoholic strength, in fact there are times when having more of a less alcoholic drink is better. For what its worth I appreciate a beer for its taste far more than how quickly it gets me drunk and generally its the right combination of the two factors that...

It's very nice with hints of liquorice and toffee. Its a good winter warmer type beer. I'm glad I made it for Christmas and would highly recommend to anyone who likes stout or Guinness. In fact I'm going to stick a couple in the fridge right now :D

Just to give another view. I have used them on the beers I have bottled and it makes it a fast and simple process to pop one in each bottle. The convenience and lack of mess, for me, make it worth whatever the difference in cost is. I will probably only brew half a dozen times a year, so its...

Hi, For what its worth I have done the Muntons Imperial Stout, 2 can kit. I made it according to the instructions and bottled it. I have been drinking it over Christmas and have to say that is a great pint. This was my first 2 can kit, all the others being Coopers kits which are not bad at...
