Spagnols (Brew House) vs Magnotta

New to the site, and to home/club brewing.

I went to a club, and brewed several recipes, all based on a couple different worts from Magnotta. The Irish Red and the Belgian Ale were excellent.

The place I went to (Fermentations in Toronto) is a fair way for me to travel, and I came across a club that close to me (Swansea). Swansea carries Brew House by Spagnols. Can anyone comment on the quality of the product, especially compared to Magnotta?

Thanks

Welcome,

You lucky in the states, we have no such things as club brewing sessions or even clubs in the UK. (That I know of)

People in the States may be lucky as well, but I'm from Canada (Toronto).

Sorry, should of checked your intro.


You are Lucky, good supplies, clubs and Canada.

Lately (due to time restraints) I've been brewing exclusively with BrewHouse kits.

Fantastic beer, but liquid yeast makes it so much better.
They've got some decent info on their website re: modifying their kits. Might want to check it out.

I've brewed the Prairie Wheat, WinterFest Ale, Canadian Light Lager (father in law), Munich Dark, and currently have a Red Ale in the primary, with a Stout waiting for the yeast cake from the Red.
All very good beers!

I've also tried two Magnotta (Festa Brew) kits.

I've brewed the Brown Ale and the Continental Pilsner. Brown Ale was good, Pilsner is ok.

They're very good, but I prefer the Brew House kits.
