My first kit was a st peters golden ale back in the summer. Made a few mistakes with it being my first, but would happily make another. Definitely gets better with age, but don't think I'll be able to hold off drinking whats left for much longer lol

Coopers Stout if you haven't already.

Oh, and go all grain!!!

Coopers Stout?? Plenty of different ideas for tweeking on here. I did mine to 19 litres, 500g dark DME, 100g dark muscavado sugar, 500g golden syrup and three shots of espresso from a machine. OG 1048. FG 1012. Turned out good.
Or at the other end of the scale....a Youngs American IPA?!

Another vote for Coopers Stout :thumb:
Can steep chocolate malt, bottle with coffee, put vanilla in, add lactose for a milk stout, or just do it as normal - plenty of options!

Was the best kit I ever did (did it about this time last year ready for Xmas)

Never done all grain with need a fair bit of reading first I think

 

[BeerCat]

St Peters Honey Porter is very very quaffable, far better than many craft beers I have tried down the pub

OK.
I would do Coopers Stout and Youngs AIPA again, have done Coopers English Bitter again, and would do Coopers Australian Pale Ale and Canadian Blonde again but with different mods to last time.

Youngs American IPA is very good. I've just put on my second batch, the first is almost done and hasn't lasted long. Couple of my mates have tried it and all love it.

That said, really depend what type of beer you like.

Some good offers on premium kits.
Any Youngs,Festival or Muntons two can kits with supplied hops will suffice.

Golden stag :drunk:

 

[MrDasherD]

I haven't done them all but would, and do return to any of the Festival kits.

 

[wfr42]

I have done the young's American ipa twice and will do it and the mocha porter again.

The amber was good too, but I would do something new ahead of that for a 2nd time.

Cheers people think I going to try the grain(ag) brew for my next
