Regular.
This is a one tin kit costing around £15, I was looking for a brew which was close to Newcastle Brown Ale and after looking online it seemed to be a good choice.
The brew was placed in bottles with one tsp of granulated sugar in each bottle and left indoors for a week and then placed in the shed. I tested one of these after around two weeks and if Iâm honest was very disappointed. It has very little taste and was very watery and lacking texture.
The next was tried four weeks after and it had got better but was still not great. After around four weeks in the bottle it had really picked up with the texture now a lot thicker and more taste.
I decided not to drink this all in one go so left it for another four weeks and then got stuck in, in this time the taste had improved and it was a very close to Newcastle Brown.
Finding 10 bottles of this in the shed two weeks ago really made my weekend, as this is now close to six months old itâs truly amazing, just like any shop brought Ale.
If I was to brew this again I would use 1kg of Brown sugar and maybe some spray malt.
Just remember to sit on your hands with this brew as it really does get better with age.
