brewferm abdij

[stevander74]

After successfully bottling my Nog on Sunday, I brewed a Brewferm Abbey kit on Monday. This kit produces 20 pints of dark belgian style beer @ 8%. SG was higher than i expected at 1.060 but i think thats normal for this type of kit and everything else went well and today it has a thick frothy head so plenty of activity and happy days. I used a Coopers enhancer with this kit and didnt realise id only need 500g instead of 1kg, otherwise Idve bought 2 cans of Abbey, so now Im left with half an enhancer kit which means the next brew will also be a Brewferm strong kit, possibly Diablo just cause the names cool :lol:
The down side to these kits is the recomended 6 to 8 weeks conditioning time. I dont think I can wait that long!!!! Thankfully the Nog will be ready for halloween and Ive got 20l of that to keep me going. : :drink: :drink: :drink: :drunk:

The only way to allow beer to condition long enough it to ensure you have loads of other beer ready to drink and take your mind off of it.

Yeah . . . It was only when I was looking at my Sig that I realised that I have 18L of Simmonds bitter in the Kegereezer that should be ready for drinking now :twisted:

Sounds good Stevander... I'm going to try one of these stronger Brewferm kits too... my Tarwebier is ready to bottle, but thinking about getting another on straight away (I'm a one FV show! :rofl: ). Let us know how it turns out.

Hi Stevander,

Nice choice mate, just bottled brewferm Triple, like you say just have to wait for 8 wks now, but ive plenty conditioning in the meantime, ive also tried the brewferm raspberry, got a few bottles left, trying hard to keep them for a treat, nice drop though
