Brew House Pale Ale - Saturday, April 25, 2015.
Since I didn't like the Festa Brews, I am going back to this one. I made it about 15 years ago and it was nice. Cost is $40.50 but I think it is better than that Festa Brew which just didn't taste that good. The wort smelled good, but then again so did the Festa Brew. I toppped up with 7 L of boiled and cooled well water.

15 G Coopers dry yeast. Just sprinkled on top. Going good at bedtime. Spewing out of the blow off hose the next morning. Not overly active, but steady. Had to turn on the wall heater because of global cooling. This kit didn't taste that great. No sure why, but using bottled spring water instead of my dreaded well water may be the reason. The kit was 6 months old and the BB date is 9 months, so I guess it was good.

The reason this and some other of these kits didn't taste that great is the yeast. Coopers? That yeast sucks and the amount is not enough. The Pilsner should of tasted better though since you used your standard lager yeast. I just made a Pale Ale kit and it tastes quite good using US-05.
