    I brewed an Amber Ale kit from Midwest last year (first brew), and havent gotten around to doing another. Well now ive got the itch again. Looking for something with a little body to keep me warm, but with good drinkability for all palattes. I dont want something so dark that my lady friends will be scared of it.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    The first kit I ever brewed was the Brewer's Best Imperial Pale Ale and it was fantastic.

    i have to agree on the brewers best kits. i have made hundreds of them and they are great. i like rye whiskey so i'm about to do a rye ale kit of thiers. i really like wheat beers myself. i have two of thier kits for wheat beers, the rye ale kit and 4 other of thier kits just itching to get fermented as soon as thier pilsner comes out of the wine cooler and gets bottled.

    here are thier kits. Beer Brewing Kit: Brewer's Best Ingredient Beer Brewing Kit | HomeBrewIt.com

    here are some more kits from another maker. Home Brewing Ingredient Kits (recipes) from Homebrew Heaven

    I too loved this kit, not a ton of body if fermented with nottingham IME anyway, but still an awesome session beer. I have tried tons of their kits and loved them, to include lately the Patersbier, an awesome belgian style blonde at 4.5% ABV with flavor for DAYS all due to the wyeast 3787 trappist high gravity yeast. I did the AG, but can't imagine the extract would be too much different either way as both grain bills are straight up pilsner malt, either extract or grain. If you like belgian beers at all, or want to try to get into them, this is one awesome kit.

    +1 on this kit I got the all grain version and added some extra 2 row grain.add 1lb of light dry malt extract and it bumps the ABV up. should be where you want to be
