Im feeling lazy and its cold in the garage!!

Kits are temping as an AG brew day is about 5 hours and it's cold outside.........

Are there any kits that are as good (no twang etc) as a competently brewed AG ?

It's a couple of years since I brewed a kit and things change so there is hope.

Are there any 1/2 size kits?

I'd go Youngs or Festival.

It's a good few years since I did a Festival kit as I remember it was just OK, have they got better in the last 5 years or so?

 

[Clint]

I dunno.

A friend has just done the Muntons hazy IPA kit and says it’s the best one yet. Not received my sample yet though.

I remember the werry was a good pint when I put it on nitro.

How about pimping a kit with some steeped grains and a hop tea?

I just done 2 of these, both been kegged, they are pub quality Fresh - Wort - Beer Kits

Extract? All you need is a big pot on the stove and a few KG of DME

In my experience if you have controlled fermentation temperature i.e fridge/inkbird, that goes a long way in improving any kit and avoiding the dreaded twang.
Also using extract kits that don't require sugar ( or even better as above fresh wort ) will help.

I'd tend to stick with Mangrove Jacks. Depending on your personal taste, probably the four best kits I've ever done are MJ Citra IPA, MJ Pink Grapefruit IPA, MJ Juicy Session IPA and MJ Mango Pale Ale. All top notch.

Add my vote to Mangrove Jack's Juicy session IPA and also Festival's Razorback.

I made up one of these a few months ago and just got round to trying the keg. Got to say its pretty good. Mines a good bit stronger as I only made it up to 19l to fit in a corny.

I like the Dark Rock kits, preferring them to Mangrove Jacks, but no idea how they compare to AG.

Festival Razorback IPA was great, and anything from Mangrove Jacks Craft Series range. The full extract kit range from the Homebrew Company is amazing.
