My first ever brew!
A one can kit which says to brew it with a kilo of sugar - which I duly did.
In truth, the resultant pint is, well, OK really. It looks like beer, it smells like beer, it tastes like beer and it'll set you back about 23p a pint.
It's a bit thin and it does have just a hint of "beer kit twang" to it but honestly for a cheap session beer it's fine.
I've still got three bottles hanging around in storage - it'll be interesting to see how it has developed over the intervening months...
I also think that it would prove to be a whole lot better brewed with DME rather than sugar - would address the thinness issue for a start.
If you're not a bitter-snob and just want a cheap batch of session beer, this'll do the trick.
