The Tiny Rebel kits don't appear to have been announced yet. I was assured by the guy in my local home brew shop that they were due in the spring, but he didn't have any details.

The Pink Grapefruit IPA is the one I would have chosen - let us know how it goes!

Tiny Rebel kits are made by Muntons, so you could ask them direct if you are interested in any new additions.

FYI, the sour kit is really good. (wife loves sours)

I'm going this next one short with Yeast Bay Funktown Pale Ale to dd some fruit and loose the banana and clove from the M20 yeast.

Hope that helps someone.

I've tried the pink grapefruit and irish red.

they both turned out good but the pink grapefruit wasn't as close to elvis juice as i'd hoped.

In the meantime still no new Tiny Rebel kits. Shame as the Cwtch is excellent so hoping the others will be as good.

I have a silly question about these kits. The online instructions at https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0195/8620/files/V3_MJ_GENERIC_INST_HR.pdf?3084889648740892939 say:
Remove the yeast (plus hop sachet and other dry additives if included) from the dry compartment of the pouch and set aside for now.

Where is the dry compartment? Is it under the label? I have the American Hoppy Porter kit.

I haven't used these kits, but I believe there is a dry 'pocket' within the foil pack. A lot of people seem to miss it at first, but it's in there somewhere!

You have to open the pouch and there are 2 pockets inside - 1 has the malt extract and the other has the yeast and hops (and instructions?). HOWEVER...don't open the pouch until you are ready to make the kit as the malt extract will now be exposed to air and you cannot reseal the pouch!!!

I have made the American Pale Ale (mine came with simcoe and chinook) and the American Hoppy Porter. Both are really good and I have bought another porter to make again.
