[Review] Geterbrewed Mash Kits

[johnrm]

A review of Geterbrewed All Grain Mash Kits.
I won't bore you with the process, this is well covered elsewhere here and further afield.

I bought 2 kits, 'Amber Gambler' and 'A Proper English' so my observations are based on these.
On the website it says 'All Grain Ingredient Boxes' but the kit comes in 2 bags - not in a box, so 'All Grain Ingredient Kit' would be more appropriate.


The main bag is the milled malt (great if you don't happen to have a mill) - This comes double bagged so less chance of damage/bursting in transit.
The second bag contains all the other ingredients plus instructions...
A4 sheet of Instructions.
Hops - Foil-Vac packed and marked with addition times.
Yeast - Safale US-05, Gervin GV12 or whichever yeast is appropriate for the kit
Clarifier - Whirlfloc - Maybe this does not come with 'cloudy' beers - Witbier


Instructions. (Amber Gambler)
An A4 sheet - the first half is sales pitch.
The instructions are to the point - may be a little scant for a first time AG brewer.
There is no mention of aerating wort.
They suggest making a yeast starter but the yeast (US-05) suggests sprinkling into wort.
They do offer support via social media, email and freephone, but I suspect this is a UK number.

Not having made up the kit yet, I cannot vouch for the quality but reports on other threads suggest that they are good.

I will update here when I have more.

I got to brewing the Proper English IPA in the past few weeks.
'Someone' moved my notes, when I find them I will post here.
