Smooth Red Ale

We really enjoyed this kit.  So far, it is our favourite of all the kits that we've tried.  We gave this one to several family members and friends and there is a pretty strong consensus that this is a favourite.  It has great flavour, is smooth, and easy to drink.  Ours had a strong fermentation, so you might want to consider a blow-off tube.

Update: We've made this a few times now and it's consistently delicious and smooth.  We like it much better than the Festa Brew Red.

Festa Red Great

I have to say this is one of my favourites along with the Pale... nice coppery colour and nutty flavour. I just jacked one a bit with 500G's of dex to bump the buzz a bit (OG - 1.053) and aiming for around 5.5 to 6% with a bit drier finish. Stand by! This one to be kegged and residual bottled to age a couple months for reinspection.

Good stuff

I have made this kit quite a few times and had a couple misfires. Take other's advice and toss the Cooper's.Most of the time it turns out well but isn't consistent. However, I popped one bottle after finding it stored in my basement after 7 years and it was superb! My favourites right now are with the Festa Brew lineup, bu I am not counting Brew House out yet. Next time, I will be using a liquid yeast or a Fermentis/Safale dry on my Brewhouse experiments.

I tossed the coopers yeast like I do for every brewhouse kit and grabbed a higher quality yeast, this time Safale S-04. This is my least favorite of all the brewhouse kits I've tried, nothing really stands out to me. I'm not picking up a lot of malt like a red ale should have. Nothing off putting, but I don't think I'd do this one again unless I tried it with less top up water.

Red Ale

Fabulous kit BANG ON for style... remarkably crisp for kit beer. Really good flavour, and basically a kit that I would buy over and over.
