Brupaks, Milestone, Festival or St Peters..?

[Brewbob]

I'm thinking of getting a new brew on the go, I got a couple of Wherry's conditioning at the moment, and I was figuring on doing another, but variety is the spice of life and there's so much variety out there I thought I'd try one of these other kits, I've been perusing the review threads, but I want a comparison, so I thought I'd start a poll....... Of course I understand there are different beers for each kit, but I'm just looking for a general consensus. Cheers :thumb:

I've only tried the Brupak Linthwaite light(very good) and the Milestone raspberry wheat beer (OH's favourite) ,but if you want a really good pint try http://www.thehomebrewcompany.co.uk/hbc ... -1688.html. ,I promise you won't be disappointed. A bit more enjoyable to make also.

MmM, looks good, I might just give that a go. How big a boiling pot do I need?

I've done two now , a golden ale and a Discover APA , the first I did in a 10 litre pot , the second I did in a Burco 27L boiler with a hop filter and wort chiller. They've both turned out excellent.
The only difference I noticed was with the 10L pot one whilst it was fermenting there was a lot of surface clumping unlike the Burco one.

Oddly I got a Wychwood pack the other day (waiting for my first homebrew to be ready and still collecting bottles) and one of the bottles was called scarecrow. I'd not tried that before but thought it was fantastic. I'm pretty sure that was a golden pale ale, so I'd look to give it a try... just need to wait till I have a big enough pot so I can move on to extract!

I have done 2 milestone kits and 3 different brupaks and I really like the brupaks especially as they come with a hop tea bag the west riding wheat is fantastic a good erdinger clone.
