Help sick and tired of the wife getting all my hard work

[Drunken_Jock]

Good evening all. As I have said in my intro that I have been brewing for a couple of years now but have really only did wine.

I have tried a cider and a lager kit. Last year they both brewed ok and seemed to go throuh the 2nd fermentation as well. After 4 weeks opened the bottles and got fizz which I didn't think would happen poured them and got a small head but not too small.

All was looking good until I sat down and tasted it and there really was no taste on either the cider or the lager. I can't remember what they were called but I would like to try another kit lager ale and cider.

So if you can suggest one and is there anything else u do to give it more flavour. I just used the kit and normal sugar into the fermintation bin and set the lid loosely on top.

I have made over 100 bottles of wine but the wife drinks that I'm a lager cider and ale guy myself.

Cheers jock

try going for the slightly more expensive kits like muntons / milestone they are 2 can kits no added sugar needed however you can prime your bottles/ keg with spray malt hope this helps
not in anyway as good as AG but nice
wouldnt recommend the muntons cider though look for the posts on turbo cider really simple to make
