What are your favourite beer kits?

[gbox82]

Hi

Very new to home brewing (just drinking my second batch). Was wondering what other peoples favourite beer kits are? I thought it would be nice to start a thread where people list their top three beer kits they have had, to give some ideas for what to try next.

Mine isnt even a top three yet, but i would say out of the two i have done so far:

1. Woodfordes wherry
2. Woodfordes sundew

Let me know what your top three beer kits are, with an explanation if you so wish.

Cheers

I have to say I haven't had a duff kit recently. They're all different, would be difficult to pick a favourite. I'd probably go with:

1. Sundew
2. Admiral's Reserve

but that's only because my Wherry is still carbonating!

Young's harvest mild is pretty good, but I was comparing with Mansion Mild the other night and there's something missing - mouth feel, I think. I'm not an expert.

I mostly brew AG now but still do the odd kit, as I'm primarily a lager drinker my first choice is obvious but I do enjoy a nice ale/bitter/Ipa :-

1. Coopers Euro lager (Bohemian yeast (smackpack)

2. Woodfords Wherry (kit yeast)

3. Coopers IPA (kit yeast) I bought a Greene King Gold IPA as it was on offer at Sainsbury's and couldn't tell the difference

Good luck

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I think i'm going to work my way through the woodfordes kits, by and large the reviews look really good and the ones i have made so far have worked well.

I've done loads of kits and Woodfords (by far) suit my taste buds best! :thumb:
