Yes please. Fancy trying out a fruit kit!

So I decided to buy some of these as they were cheap and sounded rather intriguing. Am planning to to a single hop classic IPA with them at some point, but was wondering if anyone has any experience with them at all?

Would like to give the Inkbird 308 WiFi a whirl

Two weeks in and 42 bottles filled, that'll do! I'd cold crashed for 24 hours and seemed to come out clear as far as I can see, but the smell was glorious. Juicy indeed. Tasted good too, but a few weeks conditioning should help. Very promising athumb..

Add in 32l Youngs Mocha Porter + 40l MJ Juicy Session IPA Total: 16435.5l

8 days in, and it's looking very promising. Doesn't taste bad at all! Down to 1.016 already so will probably throw the hops in on Wednesday to bottle at the weekend. Tempted to bring in a load more hops, but will leave it this time round acheers.

Congratulations. That'll keep you going for a while acheers.. Ahwell, will have to console myself with buying a few of the kit's instead :laugh8:

Finally got mine going yesterday. Smell from the packet was glorious, high hopes for this one! Not sure there's much going on 24hts in, but well aware how laggy the MJ yeast is so not concerned. Shall leave it at 20°c for the next two weeks and see how it pans out.

Yes please!

Another one who can vouch for Pia, though admittedly I don't have a huge amount of experience. But seemed to come out very well Would use again!

Sounds promising! Picked this kit up on offer as sounded like a nice idea for a kit. Have a stout to put in over the weekend and will then be getting this on!

In for this!

Tried the Cascade beer today (well I did try a bottle Sunday but was more than half cut and couldn't actually drink much of it). As a beer it was alright, but as my first successful AG homebrew it was an unqualified success! Carbed nicely but still cloudy (chill haze didn't help). Lovely straw...

Decided to box them and into the spare room they shall live.

Can vouch for the Pia. Just bottled a MO/Cascade Smash after fermenting at 18.5°c for a fortnight, although fermentation appeared done inside 8 days! Sample has come out clean with the hops coming through nicely. Looking good! Have a Beoir and a Haze to use. Planning on a stout for the Beoir...

Two updates for the price of one today! First of all I've opened a bottle of the Sitra batch. Whilst it's cleared up a treat, there's no sign of it getting any better. So the decision has been made to send it down the drain. A moment's silence please........ In better news the MO/Cascade (with...

In for the win!

Just took a reading/tasting. Looks like we're done as reading is 1.014 which is on the dot. Even better, it actually tastes decent (if a little young). Decent bitterness and clean taste, no issues at all!acheers. Will let the yeast tidy itself up and throw in the 55g of Cascade Wednesday...

M&S seemed to have it in down my way so might be worth a look if there's one nearby

If you're boiling the water before use and rinsing after using Milton, then it doesn't sound like either would the cause of your problems. Keep on going though acheers.
