BeerSmith Vouchers for highest scoring kits

[Shane Phelan]

Hey guys,

There are 5 BeerSmith vouchers which have been allocated for the 5 highest scoring kits. The reason they are being aimed at the kit brewers as they are the most likely not using software yet but might be at some point in the future as their thirst for brewing develops. 

Not everyone wrote "Kit" on their bottles so I was hoping people could post their highest scoring kit here and give a little bit of information as to what you did to make the brew. It doesn't matter whether it was a hacked kit or conventional kit.

Sample:
Shiny - Coopers Ginger beer - 21 - (No special technique, just a normal kit)

[pk]

Paul - coopers stout -28- added half can of treacle and 2 carb drops per bottle
Paul - coopers lager - 30 - left to ferment in for about a month, 2 carb drops per bottle.

[ColinC]

ColinC - American Pale Ale - 25 - Coopers Australian Pale Ale hacked kit
ColinC - Northern English Brown Ale - 35 - Coopers Dark Ale hacket kit

Just to make sorting the numbers easier it would be great to keep them all together and in order.

We've asked everyone who was placed to give something back and post their recipes in the Best Recipes forum too...

A nod to Paddy Bubbles as this evening was his v recipe that I need as part of a 3 simultaneous brewing demo in Tog for the capital Brewers.

Dissolve 500g light spraymalt in a saucepan containing about 2 litres of water
Add 25g of Cascade and simmer for 10 minutes or so
Boil kettle
Add another 500g spraymalt to FV and strain the hoppy liquid into the FV also
Add the kit contents and swirl with boiled water from the kettle to get all the goodness out
Top-up fermenter to 21 litres
Pitch yeast and ferment with the US-05
Dry-hop in primary with another 25g of Cascade

Nod to tube put four litres of hot water in to fv and add a few table spoon of vwp and close the lid and stand back and b let the man shake it three or four minutes.

Suggestion was to steep 200 grams of CaraMalt or other light crystal and this would improve it no end.
