Nice one. Just goes to show that a decent kit done well can hold its own with the all grain lads.....  ;)

Hi there,

Sierra nevada pale ale made from coopers Aussie ipa kit and cascade scored 38 points,  I was equally shocked and delighted :-) Really interested to hear if James entered the Tog extract brew because this was my kit that we did on the triple brew day. Should make for an interesting blind taste test :)

Hi ColinC, just got the scores from the competition for my 2 kits,,,
American Pale Ale scored 32 - absolutely delighted with that for a kit,  ;D, however the English Bitter scored 17,  :(  but not unexpected... (i'm still enjoying drinking it  ;) )
well chuffed with both results when compared with the other entries in the compettition.
How are other kits fairing out?
EDIT: Wel done Colin,  Shanna and Ciderhead, great day for the kits... [smiley=beer.gif]  [smiley=beer.gif]

Whopper result IsMise & Shanna - well done.

Side by side tasting at the Liffey Brewers meet on Thursday IsMise?

RobBrew did a similar recipe after you posted yours - say he'd like to know what it should turn out like!

IsMise

Yea, head-to-head next Thursday... bring it on  ;D
Well done again, must taste the nutbrown ale (again)... an excuse to play with your blichman toy

Well done everybody. We got some really good scores in the competition without having to dedicate whole days to mashing, sparging and boiling  ;D
