Got this brewed at 5%. Had a cheeky tester after a week in the bottle and it’s very very good!! So good I tested another 10 over the weekend lol
Don't know, always drank it from the day it was ready and always enjoyed every drop. I've made around dozen of these and never been dissapointeddoes it improve with age

I’ve yet to hear anyone say a bad word about it and certainly for me it has been my favourite kit.
do we think this is due to the mango extract/flavouring masking any off flavours us home brewers can sometimes create.
Is it a very forgiving kit or am I underplaying the fact it is just a great kit?
I have this set on fermentation now, day 12. Increased temp yesterday to 22c to hurry the fermentation a bit.
Dry hopped and added 1kg mangopure after flameout and had 600g lactose in at start of fermentation. Tasted the wort yesterday and it has potential.
How long should I condition? some say 10 days, some say max 1 week.
I'm with you on this, it was the 1st brew I did last summer in my keg/keezer set up and was just amazing. I've done 5 or so of the MJ kits and this is #1 by far. I'm doing AG now but this is defo one I want to go back to at some point. on the pink grapefruit, I think I ruined mine as it was in the garage in the heatwave last year and I reckon most of the fermentation was at 25/26deg C. It didn't really have any grapefruit flavour and I just wasn't really bothered about drinking it. I must give it another go at some point given how positive the reviews have been, in the fermentation fridge at a nice 19/20C next time!I never got to have my week off in the middle of May, I'm meant to be on leave now. Work emergency got in the way and I had a week of stress instead. However I did get to sample the Juicy Session IPA last weekend and it is amazing. Definitely the best kit I have done so far and I will be doing it again. The Pink Grapefruit IPA is beautiful, but this pips it to the post. Absolutely gorgeous and I am looking forward to having a few more next weekend. I have an Irish Red Ale on at the moment and I'll be putting the Pink Grapefruit IPA on again after that. Next will be another Juicy Session IPA. This will be a constant addition to the stash. Absolutely fantastic.
Just started drinking this and I love it, looks like a lighter Guinness. The taste reminded me of an AG brew I have done in the past and put that down to the EKG (Goldings) dry hop. The AG beer in question was the ESB Fullers clone I have done a couple of times in the past.I have an Irish Red Ale on at the moment
Yes you should try the Pink Grapefruit IPA again. It is very good. Last weekend I did a side by side taste test of the Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA and Brewdog Elvis Juice. The Brewdog Elvis Juice is lovely and there is a stronger grapefruit aroma from it, however I preferred the taste of the MJ Pink Grapefruit IPA. @GhostShip I believe recently made a batch again using 1 liter of Pink Grapefruit Juice and he was very impressed. I will be doing this kit again in a couple of weeks and will also try adding the Pink Grapefruit Juice at time of brewing. I still think that the Juicy Session will be hard to beat.I'm with you on this, it was the 1st brew I did last summer in my keg/keezer set up and was just amazing.
