Anyone tried the Crossmyloof AG kits?

All in One for the 20:20

CML because of inflation no longer offer the 10% discount on purchases of single recipe kits . Cost of living starts to catch up.

Quick question on the Hoppity House. Does this need lagering at all, or is it brewed like an Ale?

 

[user 4749]

Brewed with midland yeast so no lagering great kut Hoppity House . I have done it a few times

Thats one I keep wanting to try hoping its like Boddies from late 70s early 80s

I usually use the recipes from Ron Pattinson's site as they are from the brewing records (love the 71' Bodds recipe) but I believe I'll pull this recipe and give it a shot. I'll report back and let you all know if it's any good.

Super! Just got one for my birthday so will be getting that going in the new year once my kegs are drained!

Just sampling the Hebridean Wildcat ale, which is clone of Caingorm brewery ale. It's absolutely wonderful. Malty, a little roasty with nice level of spicy hop bitterness. Well worth brewing, and possibly the best ale I have brewed.

I was going to order a kit to brew over christmas but I've just seen that all their kits are marked as sold out ;(

And grain...

 

[marshbrewer]

Is there something funny going on with their website since they updated it, as I can only find the 5L kits listed?

 

[user 4749]

Last time this happened their Grain delivery was delayed . Probably the same again as the weather and postal strikes have delayed deliveries .

Anyone brewed the Deuchars kit?

 

[Gingerbrews]

I did the Deuchars kit; really enjoyed it.
It was more like draught Deuchars of years ago, ie much better than the stuff for sale now in cans

I see they have a new kit 20:20 American Blonde which is 20min Mash and 20 min boil for those who want to cut energy cost might give it a try.

I've gone for this as my first foray into AG.

I'm doing it as a no sparge BIAB in the Maischfest. As I'm wanting 19L of keg beer I went with a 23L batch kit based on attempting to offset the loss of efficiency due to BIAB and no sparge. Not sure if I got that right though!

Has anyone else done the 20:20 and if so what are your thoughts on it?

 

[Scrattajack]

I notice that they also have a Four Priests Murgy Straight kit from @chopps 's recipe.
