Andrew Parsons (verified owner) –
This kit produces an absolutely Fantastic beer! A Cambridgeshire lad; I was brought up on Charles Wells and Green King beers and have to say this produces a beer which in my opinion is exactly true to style as I remember it. I already have my second batch conditioning and can’t wait to sample it. Mind you, the first batch did seem to evaporate rather rapidly!
