Early this summer I made up a batch of Premier from a can DB found at a local
market, I had seen it for decades and knew that when the local guys talked of home brew that was what they meant. The batch turned out well, not excellent but drinkable and cheap. Then I started looking for the next can of Premire and there was none to be had, and about that time I found this forum.
Twenty pages of reading later (long story short) I called Premier, got the details, mailed of a money order, and now I have a dozen cans of malt; and since malt, yeast and instructions make a brew kit for Cooper and Muntin I
guess it does for Premier.
Twelve Light Malt Extract, 2.2 lbs $5.00 each, $35.00 freight MI to ME,
$95.00 = $8.00 per 5 gallon batch including yeast if you follow their instructions. Add a buck for sugar and thats 31 cents for a 22 oz, or
17 for a 12 oz. We shall see!
Yeast included came in a consumer pack rather than the blank or near blank packs I have had in other kits. Windsor Brewing Yeast, GMO and Gluten Free,
Danstar(r) www.danstaryeast.com 11 g. On back are instructions, product of Austria, expiration 11-2011 Produced for Lallemand Inc. Montreal,QC,
Canada H1w 2N8.
Instructions are ample and contain the following: "If you follow the instructions, that is adding 1 kg of malt to 1/2 U.S. gallon of boiled water and then vary the amount of sugar you add and the cold water balance, beers of varying flavours and alcohol strength will be made. For example: 2 lbs of sugar made up to 34 U.S. pints produced a pleasant drinking beer. 1 1/2 lbs of sugar made up to to 29 U.S. pints produces a beer similar in alcohol strength to English and Canadian beers. 1 1/2 lbs of sugar made up to 24 U.S. pints produces a strong beerin both flavour and alcohol content.
Will follow up on the brewing and tasting details. This has nothing to do with soak or all grain remarkable brews, but a quest for interesting everyday brews for quiet drinking without getting hammered or going broke.
