Better Brew kits V's 2 can kits?

[Andyhull]

I've just put on a BB IPA with BB brew enhancer and eagerly await the result.
I've only done 2 can kits previousely and wondered if there is much difference between them?

I know that some of you have done both so wondered if you thought there was much difference in the finished product.

Most the 2 can kits i have bought where around £23 yet the BB kit including Brew enhancer was only £18 so a saving of around 20%

I've done the better brew ipa and mild but both times I've used a can of cooper's LME with them ,making it about the same price as a 2 can kit.

Was that a 1kg can?
Im using a 50/50 DME/Dextrose mix in mine.

A full 1.5kg can of light with the IPA & amber with the mild.

the BB IPA is one of the better 1 well you can't call it a 1 can kit can you , floppy bag I guess. However its very good indeed, I make mine with beer enhancer and or spray malts and have enjoyed 3 good brews... 1 brew failed miserably, it smelled awful from the word go, and still does after several weeks in the bottle.
Its languishing right at the rear of the stash at moment...

I've got one brew bottled since 25/7/2012 that I've put away for a birthday celebration end of September and I am not expecting many of the 35+ bottles to survive. Still it might take their edge of drinking my St.Peters RRA ! and Coopers Stout and Muntons Midas Touch and English Bitter ... and ...and...

The IPA is a 2.1kg pouch where as the 1 can kits are usually from 1.5 to 1.7kg so it's maybe that extra 400gm/600gm of wort (etc) that will maybe make the difference!
