good kits, been using for years, never fails crisp taste, I enjoy the dry hopped ciders and american IPA.

I've never brewed a lager - I have been brewing bitters milds and stouts since the late 70's but when we got a heatwave in May we were supping Italian lager in the garden as it was far too hot for ale so I thought it's about time I gave it a go. This is obviously a new kit to market so I gave it a whirl. The yeast is not fussy about traditional cold temp fermentation and performed excellently. I racked this after 2 weeks, added brausol finings ( which I would highly recommend) and then bottled after a few more days. I am drinking one now in the late July sun. Stick a bottle in the fridge for an hour, be careful pouring, accept the last inch of the bottle as wastage and you have a cracking cold almost star-bright lager that is very close to Moretti or similar. Impressive stuff!

Yeah it was pretty good and certainly better than Ritche's from last month. The brew cleared quickly and poured from a Kingkeg well.
