I started off doing all grain, full mash, what I call 'proper' brewing. But with the birth of my son almost two years ago I discovered I no longer had the time that proper brewing demanded. So I stopped brewing until earlier this year when I gave a beer kit a go. Ya know it was pretty good!
So going forward I am going to be brewing more kits and writing about them too. My intention is to review each kit twice. Firstly a review of the kit itself, a look at how good are the instructions, the quality of ingredients, is it good value for money? That kind of thing. The second review will happen much later once the beer is brewed and has had some time to settle and mature. This review will look at how good a job I think i have done, is it a good beer? and how close to the description on the kit have I got it?
I might occasionally review the odd beer I find in the pub or supermarket shelf to and expect the occasional wine kit to appear to.
So to start with I will shortly be writing about the kit pictured at the top Cwtch.
