Ok, it's been a fair while since I indulged in a bottle. Tried it at room temp, not good. It's sickly with a an after taste I'm not fond of. But chilled, that's a different strory, very good. It's sickly taste is now one of sweetness, with a balanced bitterness coming through. It's reasonably...

Yeah pretty good. :) Nothing too oustanding to distinguish it from other double malt tin kits. Quite easy going, medium body, midly hopped, a regular brew but certainly palatable. :drink:

Any one?

I've noticed that the fermenation seems to become stuck in quite a few of my brews recently. I'm brewing from kit form. If it's double malt kit, usually ending up around 1015-1018. The cheaper single malt kits usually end up around 1010-1012. I don't bother to re hydrate the yeast, usually...

Anyone tried this one? Just got it in the fermenter, similar to any other kits out there?

Cheers gentlemen, a trip to Wilkos looms. :)

This one any good? I'm thinking of buying one of these. Certainly pleased with Edme's Irish Stout.

The Diablo was very good, I WAS pleased. :drink: :drink: As with my Gallia, it's gonna take a while for the taste to properly come through. Not tried the Abbey similair to Lefe or Chimay? Did you leave at room temp to mature?

Thanks gentlemen, it did eventually get to 1012. I was happy with that and bottled. As the instructions say, takes a decent amount of time to mature. Probably about two months to get the best from it I reckon. :( Damn I'm thirsty!

Anyone tried this one before? What does it turn out like? In the fermenter now.

....just use a Breferm Kit, preferably Diablo. :cheers:

Been in the fermenter over a week now. Gravity at 1020. Worried it might be stuck, it's been like that for a few days, only very minimal bubbles rising very slowly. I use closed fermenter's with regular airlocks. It's bubbling once every few minutes. :wha: Brewferm say to bottle at 1010.

It's certainly Brown, pretty dark, sort of Oaky and sweet smell. In the fermenter awaiting bottling.

Ok, it's probably better left just a bit longer for maturation, but I've no other supplies available! :( I'm pretty pleased with the taste so far, it's nothing super special but I'd certainly recommend it! :) :clap: I prefer it to the Finlandia cider, since it's not as sweet. More of a...

Quite pleased with Brupak's Colne Valley Bitter. Seems the Beer's of the World range is getting the thumbs up also.

Thanks for the tips, appreciated. :)

Forgot to mention I'd done that one also. Found the taste a little uninspiring and bland.

I've tried Geordie's Lager kit (can't quite remember just how good or bad it was) Brewferm's Gold, Coopers Mexican Cerveza, Coopers Australian Lager, Coopers European Lager, Morgan's Blue Mountain Lager and Morgan's Cortes Cerveza. Any other's out there that are certainly worth a go?

I drink a few pints of brew while bottling, it helps. :D I don't like bottling either. Though I fill twenty bottles with steriliser, then twenty another day. Empty and rinse on the day of bottling and fill. I'm trying to teach my dog how to use a crown corker. :wha:

1008, still bubbling away...hurry up I'm thirsty! :drink:
