What kit beer are you drinking tonight?

[Polcho]

I’m drinking Festival Razorback IPA.
It’s ok, just that.

 

[Tanglefoot]

Finishing off this barrel of Bulldog IPA, dry hopped with chinook leaf.
This was the last kit I made before going all grain at the end of february, still well carbed from the initial sugar priming.

Just emptied king keg of ciderworks superior apple cider, very nice that was the 3rd brew of it. Gone for a change this time. In the FV now is Festival Oaked Cider it's around 7.2 % giveing it a try to see if it holds up to Ciderworks.

Merlot for me tonight. 2019 from my vineyard that I haven’t seen since before China virus.

Festival wheat kit with 1kg spraymalt wheat. Buckled the lid on my fermenting bucket! In the keg on Saturday afternoon at 30psi, gave it a shake, then left it 24 hours. Reduced the pressure to 3psi and poured it through a party tap/bottling wand combo (I find the party tap to be too lively even at low pressure).

Came out around 6% and tastes outstanding!

I don’t know what it is with wheat beers but they always seem to try and escape the fermentor seem to taste lovely though.

Hi BEERME is that the peach wheat kit mate ?

 

[Clogger30]

St Peters cream stout. Its a good pint, but if anyone can recommend a better kit I'll try.
I've brewed woodfords nog (very nice). Youngs mocca porter (very very good).

 

[Bombers hoppy ending]

Just had a bottle of Cwtch. Very pleasant.

 

[StoutWolf]

Couple of bottles of Woodforde's Admirals Reserve. Very happy with how this turned out.

 

[Pirate_Pete]

I had a coopers crown lager when I got in from a particularly bad day at work.
I thought I wouldn't mind a Cooper Imperial Russian Stout after.
Now on my second. It's 10% ABV, so the day is beginning to not seem too bad after all.
For anyone not familiar with the recipe.

• 1 × Stout (1.7kg)
• 1 × Dark Ale (1.7kg)
• 1 × Lager (1.7kg)
• 1 × Dextrose (1kg)

Two month matured Old Conkerwood first time brewed, bloody lovely

 

[Baldinio]

I'm trying a coopers Australian pale ale that I added some hop tea to then dry hopped, very moreish.

 

[Baldinio]

Followed by a geordie mild that I brewed short to 12.5 litres. Needs a bit longer in the bottle, tastes like oatmeal.

I am drinking a Simply Lager kit which was my very first brew back in December. I have just 3 bottles from this brew left. It is just a simple kit with 1Kg of brewing sugar. But because it was my first it has sentimental value. It has held up well of 6 months and is still very drinkable. The others I have made since are better, but this one is still lovely. Enjoying it.

Hi

I've done 2 wheat beers so far, a Coopers Hefe Wheat Kit and a Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat beer. Both were very active for the first few days of fermentation and the Krausen came up through the Airlock. Next time I do a wheat beer I'll make up a blow off tube. Both are lovely beers by the way. Enjoy your Wheat beer.

I’m celebrating Friday evening and the weekend. Started with the last bottle of Coopers Hefe Wheat kit which I started on Christmas Eve. It had cleared a lot over the last 6 months but still tasted lovely. It lost some of the original wheat beer flavors. Just opened up a bottle of Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat beer (1st pic). It’s lovely.

I am thinking of doing a kit wheat beer so do you mind if I ask which you think is the better of the two?

Both are really good. The Coopers Hefe Wheat kit was really good when it was first ready. It was cloudy like a Hefe Wheat beer should be and also had a subtle background taste of gloves and banana. I drank the batch pretty quickly, but left about 5 bottles. After 6 months the flavors had died off a little and the beer had cleared. But it was still lovely.
The Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat beer is lovely too. I don’t get cloves or banana but it is definitely a wheat beer and also worth doing. You will not be disappointed with either of them. Try one of them, perhaps go for the Coopers Hefe Wheat kit first. Make sure to make it with Wheat DME. I used 1Kg of Wheat DME and 200g of brewing sugar. I primed them both with 180g of brewing sugar before bottling.
