What kit beer are you drinking tonight?

[Jon1964]

I've switched to Admirals Reserve now, really nice,I had a cider that I made from pressed foraged apples last year earlier as well...I've also had a day off from work ...I just don't care!!

Loving the Admirals Reserve.
Was a really fast Brew.
From pitching to drinking 17 days, clear as a bell and very tasty.
A great kit when you need a quick Brew.

The one I've just had I bottled 14 months ago...conditioned beautifully now.2 bottles left. I bottled a Wherry kit today that I added a 20g cascade dry leaf hop to.Tasted lovely.

Beerworks dark belgian strawberry ale.
Bottled two weeks ago, nicely carbed, slight strawberry nose and sweet flavour. Also a slight sour note. I'll put the remainder away to cool condition until the new year now.
Bottled 5l like this and did a mini keg.
In the remainder I replaced the strawberry flavor with some dark cherry vodka and bottled in 330mls, an early bottle suggest they maybe under carbed though

My beerworks dark belgian strawberry ale kit whilst putting up the Christmas decorations. Didn't quite manage to leave it until the new year, but It's definitely improved since I last tried it.

Nice winter / Xmas brew

Yeah, I sent one to you and you said you were putting it in your Christmas box.

Just cracked open an MJ Juicy Session IPA, bottle conditioned. I call them JIPA's.



Opened with a real Pffsssst and had a mini gusher but luckily I got most in the glass (with some yeast also).

Got one cold crashing at the moment, (corny)kegging it tomorrow and two more kits waiting to be done

Youngs New World Saison. Beautiful subtle spicy clove flavours, nice hops. Perfect for Xmas. Used a brew belt first time, fermented at around 24-26c. Conditioned in bottle 4 weeks. Very happy.

 

[stephen1546]

A Russian Imperial Stout from Love Brewing. 9% Abv and has been conditioning for around 12 weeks.

Hi @slowdave, does it taste like Shipyard? We're quite close to each other (when you're not in Warrington) as I live out near Mkt Harborough.

Hi,
It's a good shipyard copy but I wasn't as tight with the instructions as I could have been. This was the part grain kit - next time I will brew the all grain - probably for next summer as I have a few other DR kits to brew first.
I'm near Lutterworth most of the time, just work in Warrington for a couple of weeks per month.
