Tries the Lager and have to admit it was just under sensational. One of the BEST kits i have made.

I am waiting until dead winter to make another. One of the best kits around.

I did an X-Tract Pilsener, and it turned out very very very bitter. But it is improving with age a bit.

I've done the Blonde, Wheat, Pilsner, Extract Pale, Wetpak Wheat, Wetpack Pale Ale (awesome) and Extract Euro Pilsner.

No complaints with any. Really flavour driven and the boys provide good advice. Basically my supplier of choice :lol:

Encourage all to give the Wetpack series a go - brilliant.

The X-Tract pilsner is great, but it does need time to round out.

I did the Wal's wheat, but found it boring and floury. I added 1.5kg of blueberries to 2ndary, and it turned out great.

Interesting addition - did you just use the frozen blueberries from the supermarket?. I added the peel of 1/2 lemon and coriander seeds, lightly toasted and crushed, to a 30 minute boil of the wheat malt and 30 grams of hallertau. No floury taste in this one! Tasted great.

totally agree with the carbonator.
