Best Extract Kit?

[zachary80]

Just looked at the Dead Ringer kit ingredients.
Ingredients is VERY similar to the Two Heart Recipe and loaded with Centennial hops.

Kit description also states, " homage to a benchmark of the American IPA style that’s brewed in Michigan. " which is where Bell's is based.

SOLD!

The name was only recently changed, you can even still find the old name via google

The whole thing seemed to happen after Bell's wanted to protect its trademark

I won second place (out of nine) in a local homebrew contest with Northern Brewer's Caribou Slobber. It definitely is really great for a starter beer.

Brewers Best American Pale Ale was the best so far, i have done NB's cause they are cheap kits but lacking something. I nail every kit i do for the most part and I get that micro brew taste from the BB kits, not so much from the NB kits. Maybe the NB kits are less forgiving but the 5 i did have not turned out the way i like, i can taste that "extract beer" taste for sure...When i do my BB kits, my buddies cant tell if I did all grain or extract

Now if BB would sell a bit cheaper, like get rid of the caps and priming sugar in every box that would be nice...

I brewed this extract recipe last Thanksgiving and kept it in primary until June and then bottled. It's just now coming into its own and I have about half the batch left to save for the Holidays. Probably my favorite ever.
