Here the kit and contents. It is marked up as a 3kg kit and contains 2 bags of malt, 1kg of glucose, 60gs of Challenger hops, 150gs priming sugar , and 10gs of Burton ale yeast. Instructions are clear and comprehensive. In the FV today, with a SG of 1048, adding the hops on day 5, then hopefully fermentation will be finished in about 10 days, and I will have an IPA with an ABV 6.2%.
I will keep you updated on its progress. I have high hopes for this kit.

Just finished in the FV, with a FG of 1008, now kegged. Also bottled 2 litre. If the final brew taste as good as the wort then its going to be a cracking hoppy pint. Going to leave it indoors for a week, then garage for a further two weeks for conditioning. Let you know if it turns out good late July.

This is one of my favourite kits I've brewed so far (my other being the BrewUK Old Speckled Hen Clone extract pack).
Delicious and you wouldn't know it was 6.5% until you've drank a few :)
It is very hoppy though so go easy on them unless you like very hoppy beers (I do!)

Just had a sneaky taste and yes it is lovely, and very hoppy, another week and I will dive into this brew. Looks like £20 well spent!:thumb:
What do you do with the hops, are they for dry hopping or is there a boil with this kit?
