PROOF OF THE BEER IS IN THE DRINKING.

A neighbor of mine came into our shop the other day, he is a non brewer, a regular pub goer, and drinks real ales, I gave him a half pint of Muntons Gold Old English Bitter, after he had drank it his words were and I quote :- " That is better than anything that I shall have in the pub tonight, and I shall be paying £3 a pint there."Un quote. The Old English costs 57 pence per pint. Spread the word.

Hi Les,
So how do you brew your Muntons Gold Old English Bitter? Anything added? And what temp to pitch yeast?

Sorry for all the questions, just looking for beers to put on for Christmas

Cheers,
Tim.

I have been brewing beer for just about a year now and every new brew has turned out well. I take care with getting everything sterilised which I think is crucial to getting a good final product.

The Woodfordes kits make a drinkable ale in a fortnight when I am in a hurry.

I always come back to Burghley Home Brew for my next kit and greatly appreciate the opportunity to try a selection before deciding which one to do next.

On the rare occasions I do have a pint in the pub I am always disappointed when I compare it to my homebrew and begrudge paying the £3 or so. Previously I was drinking bottled beers taking advantage of the 4 for £6 at Morrisons/Tesco etc. but even this seems expensive now compared to home brewing.

Fancy something darker for the winter so will be in soon for a Porter.
