Brilliant, keep me informed of how you get on 👍🏻

Nice one, thanks mate 👍🏻

No I didn't in the end, I brewed a Woodforde's Bure Gold as my "summer drink" so we'll see what that is like in a couple of months athumb..

Thanks for all the info and advice athumb.. I shall give it a go in a couple of months!

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a good Christmas and New Year and enjoyed your own brews. Thinking ahead to the warmer months, I'm wondering about using kveik yeast instead of the kit supplied yeasts for my brews over the summer. The only place in the house I have for brewing is the upstairs...

I'm looking at brewing a decent lager/pilsner over the coming winter in readiness for the spring. Just wondering what this kit is like, anyone tried it?

I went for the Wilko Chocmeister Stout and added 50g of chocolate malt for extra chocolatey-ness 😁 I've just done my second batch and it's lovely 😁👍🏻🍺🍺

Awesome, I've got this at the top of my "To brew list" 😁 athumb.. What temperature did you ferment it at and how much priming sugar did you use foe the bottles?

Muntons Hand Crafted Smuggler's special ale, 2 and a half months in the bottle. Absolutely lovely, full of flavour and mouthfeel! athumb.. :beer1: 🍺 🍺

Thanks for your replies athumb.. Another quick question, can one add the coffee to the fv just before racking/bottling?

Hello all, just after a bit of advice please. My next brew will be Wilko's Chocmeister stout which I have brewed before with Muntons beer enhancer and 50g chocolate malt. It turned out really well but I'm thinking about adding some fresh ground coffee to this next batch. Thing is, I'm not sure...

Thanks, I was going to ask if you brewed it short! Yeah I was thinking of fresh ground coffee. Nice one mate, thanks again 😁 athumb..

Thanks mate, I will definitely try this athumb..

This sounds like a great recipe! What abv did you end up with?

Yes, for a premium kit costing over £23 you'd thought that by now it would come with more than just 6g of yeast!

Yes I would say it's similar to Tribute but there's also a hint of Sharps Doombar in there aswell. Whatever the case, you won't be disappointed!

After reading reviews and write ups of this kit, I decided to try it. This is my 12th batch (all kits) and I can safely say this is the best beer I've brewed so far! I brewed it to 24litres but added a sachet of my spare yeast in addition to kit's 6g sachet as I believe this kit gets stuck...

22L Wilko Chocmeister Stout 21L Young's Harvest Lager 23L Woodforde's Wherry 21L Mangrove Jack's Belgian Saison Total: 32,462L

I had a Young's harvest lager kit knocking about so I just sprinkled that yeast on top and hoped for the best :laugh8: It's the only yeast I had at the time, I've now learnt from the experience and keep a spare pack in the fridge now athumb..

Hi, I had the same issue with mine, it got stuck at 1.020 iirc. I stirred it, then added 50g of diluted sugar. That didn't do much so I added some more yeast. After a week it finally dropped to 1.016 so I bottled it. It's all good now athumb.. :beer1:
