A really nice pint, kit worked well, cleared quickly and I've just bought another kit- no better recommendation than that. (Posted on 17/05/2012)

This was my first attempt at home brew, so I took Phil's advice on a quality beer kit. It was straightforward enough for a novice, with only a couple of calls to Phil's 'helpline' seeking advice about issues which weren't covered in the instuctions accompanying the kit. However, after the second fermentation the beer was not clear. It took some 8 weeks in the barrel to almost completely clear, but it tasted great anyway. So overall a success I reckon!

I have just bought a second kit and Phil has suggested using Gervin English Ale Yeast this time, rather than the yeast supplied in the kit as apparently the yeast can be what causes the beer not to clear fully. I shall report back on progress.

Cheers! (Posted on 03/11/2010)

As always, this Muntons kit did the job only in its third week conditioning, but everything it promised to be already. (Posted on 27/08/2010)
