Betterbrew Beer Kits.

Feedback needed on the Betterbrew beer kits.

My sister used the IPA better brew kit with the beer enhancer. She followed the intructions to the letter but kept it around for a little longer before bottling it.

From what i can remember of it, It was very gassy while brewing, much more so than my our brews that i had going at the time. I insisted she add half a pot of gypsum, because I swear by that stuff.

As for the finished product. It was good, not very much sediment at all. Good clarity (perhaps result of gypsum). It did have a slight smell to it, but it might just be me being sensitive. But overall. It tasted good. (especially considering it was my sis's first brew, the intructions are pretty fool proof i think) I'll probably try the norfolk ale kit when i next feel like making some norfolk ale.

My first Betterbrew kit, was the IPA, it was brilliant, which I put down to the fact that I included a beer kit enhancer. I had it on offer to customers for samples, and everyone who tried it actually purchased one, so we sold out of IPA kits and enhancers that weekend. Therefore the proof of the pudding!!!

I have a IPA finished , in the barrel clearing,
I too bought after having one of les's sample drinks :-)

I never rushed to rack it after the activity slowed down so i know it was more than ready , its been a week and its got a good fizz and is quite clear , as for taste ,,,,, once you get your top lip through the creamy head its pure nectar :-) i would buy snother better brew kit :-)

made the czech lager kit and used beer enhancer . it was force carbonated in a cornelius keg and matured for three weeks before drinking . best lager to date , normally brew the coopers euro but in my mind this is far better , and you can drink it quicker ! wol
