The Bandit Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I brewed a kit or two way back (about 20-25yrs ago) but gave it up when life got in the way. Now, retired and locked-down, hubby and I (mostly I) have got the bug again. We have just brewed a 5L batch of Citra Pale Ale using malt extract + speciality grains, hops etc. It was bottled today so still a few weeks to wait! We had a little taster and for warm, flat beer it seemed ok😁, didn't detect any "homebrew twang" of kits from a bygone age. 🤞it carbonates ok, the cheap and cheerful crown capper had it's issues.

Diggerg Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Excellent. Let us know how it ages. I've just cleaned my biab setup after 18 months of inactivity. Love a simple one hop beer, let's the hops shine through.. got a bag of pilgrim to try next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
