Hello all,
I had not seen a review on this kit yet. Here is my experience with the Mangrove Jacks Australian Pale Ale. Brew started on 02/08/21. Made using 1Kg of light DME and 200g of brewing sugar. Dry hops are Melba 30g and Citra 20g. Yeast was M44 US West Coast 10g.
OG = 1.048 yeast pitched @ 24 degrees C . 12/08/21 I took a gravity reading and FG = 1.008 and I added the dry hops. 16/08/21 Moved FV down to the kitchen and transferred the beer to a bottling bucket. I added 180g of brewing sugar to 400ml of water which was heated in a saucepan until dissolved and close to boiling. After cooling the sugar solution was added to the bottling bucket just before beer was added. Following a very gentle stir I proceeded to bottle the beer and had a yield of 40 x 500ml bottles. I then moved the batch back up stairs to an airing cupboard which has a steady temperature of 22 degrees C. On the 04/09/2021 the beers were moved down to the garage to condition.
16/09/21 tried a couple which had been in the fridge for 24 hours. Mangrove Jacks produce really great kits, and this one is again a fantastic brew. As good as any craft pale ale I have tried in the past. It has beautiful malty, citrus fruit taste, and is clear and very refreshing. Well done again Mangrove Jacks. I don’t know what else to say other than I’m going to enjoy these.

. You have inspired me to try these kits and add pink grapefruit juice to the mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA. Mangrove Jacks are amazing. I have done Pink Grapefruit IPA twice, Irish Red Ale, Bavarian Wheat beer and last night I bottled my second batch of Juicy Session IPA. All have been fantastic and the Australian Pale Ale is well worth trying too.
