I won one of the Geterbrewed Kit boxes in the recent raffle (lucky beggar - I know). This thread is for the review of how it all works out as a kit.
Kit came today by Parcel Force. Nicely packaged and all ingredients look great, well marked and looks great quality with nice fragrant fresh malt and vacuum packed hops. The yeast supplied is the famous Gervin GV12.
It has simple clear instructions which assume that the brewer has at least read enough to know what to do with the contents in the same way that any cookery book recipe assumes people know what to do with pots and pans.
I can't see how this can go wrong if I do my part properly which I am looking forward to doing as soon as I can. I have all the required ingredients for my Proper English IPA brew.
I am a new AG brewer and can only do stove top 12 litre brews so I am going to have to split the contents in half and go from there. This might introduce inconsistencies which will be my fault and not that of the kit supplier, but I will do my best to get it right.
I will report my brew day fun soon.... Watch this space. :)
Cheers.
