Morebeer Blonde
|
|
Hey who has used Morebeer's kits? How did you like them (I'm looking at the Blonde Ale one)? I want to take advantage of their shipping deal but am a little nervous because they don't list the exact ingredient list like Midwest does. Thoughts, please.

I have brewed 3 or 4 of the extract kits from Morebeer, and they come with great detailed instructions for each brew(they might just used a modified template for them) but i have had no issues with them yet, have not tasted my 1st brew yet, its still bottle agging.

I've done three kits from MoreBeer. The B3 Stout, Scottish Export 80/- and Sweet Stout. I'm drinking the B3 stout right now, and I'm very pleased with the results. The ingredients are great. The instructions have come on two sheets for me, one very detailed (but generic) sheet, and another with specifics about the particular brew.
It would be nice if they showed the specifics of each kit on their website, but they don't. I figure they don't want people to steal the kit recipes, that's all. There is a complete ingredient list with the shipped kit. I've been keeping the lists for reference, and in case I want to make another batch later.
The only other supplier I've ordered from was AHS, and while their kit wasn't bad, I was happier with the MoreBeer kits. I think you'll be happy with the kit.

I've ordered twice from them, and am very happy. I like Midwest as well, and also like that they list the ingredients. Have no fear ordering from morebeer. They put together a nice kit, at a nice price, and free shipping. The kits got here to michigan 4 days after ordering and morebeer is in california, so I was happy. I thought maybe with free shipping they would take some time to pack it and what not, but not the case. Very good vendor.

I've been using Morebeer kits for the last 2-1/2 years. Ales and lagers. Probably a total of 10 -12 different kits. They make good tasting beer. Free shipping w/ descent prices.
