Brewer's Spring Kits

[Garry]

Its a coopers yeast sachet 7g 16010

There's no letter after the number so that means it's a cooper's ale yeast? Does that number mean that the yeast was produced on the 9th June 2010?

I'm basing these conclusions on this tread.

Edit: LordEoin beat me (not slapped me) to it.

[LordEoin]

yes Garry, it does.
See above, I was editing while you were replying

I've forwarded an email to Young's to get you guys some more info, expiry sticker on the box states End February 2014.

It wouldn't be like them to supply anything out of date, I'll post their response tomorrow...

[LordEoin]

@geterbrewed: I've already emailed them

@tube: 'HUGH'??

[LordEoin]

aww... isn't that sweet? 

[irish_goat]

As a matter of interest at least two Irish craft "largers" are not lagers at all, even though they're HUGH!

As in don't use lager yeast??

[@geterbrewed]

Young's are looking into it, they have said they are Canadian kits and they are checking with them to get answers, will post update when received

[irish_goat]

Spill the beans!

I'd also be happy to do the review,

1 - LordEoin - I'd be more than happy to review it
2 - CrsZ00

[LordEoin]

I think Tube is sorting out a raffle separately

[LordEoin]

I hope I win the cat

Any pics of what's inside the box (the one with the beer kit, not the cat)?

The instructions say something about adding bentonite, anyone know what that's for?

[LordEoin]

Sure brew it and review it while you're at it 

[LordEoin]

We'll all call to your door in a month for a violent piss up constructive tasting session

The bentonite, a type of clay, would be used as a fining agent. Isinglass is more common for beer, with bentonite for wine, but it will still do the job. And it makes the beer suitable for vegans
