Hi All,
I just wanted to toss this plug out and see if anybody had an opinion.
I've noticed that Brewers Best has taken some punishment here on HBT, but it's what my LHBS has to offer, so that's what I've been brewing since I started in January...my first two brews were....just ok...but I know I didn't leave them in primary long enough, and I made a few other mistakes.
My 3rd batch was an Imperial IPA kit from Brewers Best; 4 weeks in primary, racked straight to bottle. I just had my 2-week taster, and the foam retention is GREAT, and the flavor is such I'd be happy for my friends to try it (I'm a new brewer, but I've been a Craft Beer nut for a long time...I know a good IPA). I can't believe how good it turned out, and am excited for what they'll taste like in 2 more weeks.
With that said...is BB really that bad? I've since brewed (2) more BB kits that are fermenting and will do another tomorrow...I'm curious to see how they turn out. Any good thoughts on BB?
Thanks!
