Would any of the Brewferm beer kits work well with barreling instead of bottles? I have read the reviews and everyone seems to be favouring bottles for these beers.
Thanks
I wonder how much tastes are changing in the home brew market, and how popular these continental style kits are ?
A few years ago my rowing club went to a competition in Holland, At the time we had the head brewer of one of our local breweries in our club, and as a good will gesture we took a barrel of his latest brew along as our contribution to their massive Saturday night party. Well we literally couldn't give the stuff away (it was FREE, and you had to pay for the dutch beer provided by the competition organisers) We ended up drinking most of the barrel ourselves. Each to their own I suppose, and if I'm honest I've tasted very few continental beer that could hold a candle to a decent pint of bitter.
These kits do seem a little on the pricey side especially as they only produce 9lt ?
Not all are 9 litres, just the pokey ones. Some are 12, 15 and 20 litres. I really like the Brewferm range myself, I've tried 5 of them so far. The Abdij is one of the best beers I've tasted, really full bodied and full of character. Can't drink to much of it though as you can't feel your legs after a few, 9% mine came out at. I think its a good price for what you get.
