Has anyone tried this kit? I had a hard time deciding between the AHS winter warmer this clone of theirs. Samuel Smiths won out after I tried a bottle...damn good beer.
a bird in the hand....

Is it just me or do they always seam a step behind with the seasonal kits. For example you guys are just ordering these holiday type beers. By the time you brew, ferment, bottle, age, etc... It will be nearly spring. Especially for a higher strength beer that you'd probably be best aging for a few months to let the alcohol mellow out.
The worst example is when they start pushing the Oktoberfest kits in October. Those beers are typically brewed in March and let sit until October.
They should be pushing the winter seasonal ales in the August.
Sorry for the rant.

I agree with you... I do wonder what their logic is? I typically don't age my beer. I am still young enough where I don't appreciate "nice" beer I think. So once it is drinkable, I drink it. Really trying to change my mentality though.

you just need to brew more and more and more until you have beer coming out your ears and you can't drink it all so quick.

Newbie question, where do you get AHS clone kits? I love Sam Smiths Winter Welcome and would love to give one of these a try.
Thanks
Ellis Tx- Thanks for the reply, after checking it out a little further I saw that it was Austin Homebrew Supply-DUH, I should have looked more into before I posted that dumb question.
