Will be doing this one very soon, will be adding elderflowers and dry hoping with falconers flight i think
Brewed 23L - 06/06/15 - 20/06/15 temp: no temp control so it's down to the weather.
11g Maribrew Yeast + 1tsp YN.
1Kg Youngs BE, 454g Lyons Golden Syrup
25g Galaxy Hops, 20m boil and added to FV
OG:1060
Very nice taste from the sampling jar, looking forward to this one. Got a bit of a hot FV so I'll be pitching the yeast at some point in the evening.
So opened another one of my Canadian blonde to see how it getting on. Last one was opened about two weeks ago and was still a little under carbed even though it had been in the bottle for three weeks at that point. Now it is perfectly carbed and tasting fantastic! Nice subtle sweetness at the start, from the added honey I guess, followed up with a decent level of bitterness. All in delighted with this brew.
Mines nothing like San Miguel have to say, however I did make a few changes like adding 300g honey, saaz hop tea and also dry hopped so that will have changed the character of the beer a fair amount. Whether it turns out as you hope or not I'm sure you will still have a very tasty beer!Sounds good Joe, I would liken my Canadian Blonde, which has been in the bottles around 2 months to San Miguel, and I like a chilled pint of San Miguel on a sunny day !

So how is this one going?
The kit is a good choice to try these things out, since it is very non-invasive, taste-wise. I have used it to do a blackberry based "Blushing Blonde" with very good and interesting results.
I have picked my Elder flowers, made a syrup from the boil and am awaiting the moment to add it to a fermenting brew.
I have just bought one of these kits and I'm looking to make it "fruity"! Any tips for an easy way? I would like to add strawberries as i have some growing in the garden.
The important thing is to add pectolase overnight, otherwise the result is very hazy, which is off-putting. .
Pectolase?? Please explain. As far as the grape juice goes, will that be better than Strawberries?
I've made this a month ago, added brew enhancer. Nice and clear, strong and a good head, but sadly lacking in flavour. Wished i'd added hops.
