IPA failure =(
|
|
I'm probably the only guy to screw up a no boil kit. I did a Muntons no boil IPA and I don't know what happened along the way but It does not taste good at all. I was cautious with the sanitation and made sure I was siphoning "quietly" let it sit for about a month and now it has a great head on it but taste bad. Truly disappointed but on a good note I have an NB Honey Kolsch kit on the way so maybe my next kit won't be so bad.

Sounds like you did it perfectly. 
Not a fan of pre-hopped LME no-boils.

I have used a dozen of them with only 1 I would not repeat, the German Alt. It wasn't bad, just not to my taste expectations for an alt. Never made the one you mention, but a wide range of others.

Awesome thanks guys, hopefully this time it won't be such a failure. I have a big weekend ahead of me, NB Kolsch kit and a thing of strawberry mead I'm going to start up.

Agreed, I don't think there's any way that really could have made a good IPA. Better luck with the NB kit and the mead! I'm still in the waiting stages of my first mead after 2 months... |

@chessrockwell Did you use a nutrient for the yeast, because Iv'e heard it can take forever if you don't.

I just used the raisins it called for, I think it's pretty much done it's just in the aging stage until I can try it  |
