good brown ale kit

[jdutton24]

So I took about a 2 year hiatus from brewing and looking to get back in. I want to brew a good brown ale and was wondering if u guys had a good "wow" kit. I was looking @ the caribou slobber from nb along with the emma's brown ale. Also looking at austin homebrew so if u guys have any experiences with these or suggestions let me know! Thanks guys

The Caribou Slobber kit makes a very good beer. Janet's Brown is also a great brown ale, although stronger and hoppier than CS. I believe that Morebeer sells a Janet's Brown kit, although I thing most people just assemble the ingredients themselves. The recipe for Janet's Brown is in Brewing Classic Styles.

Cool. Ill prolly try the caribou slobber first. Has alot of good reviews

I have caribou slobber (not purchased from NB) in a pressurized keg. It has pretty much finished fermenting in 6 days so I am ramping it to 30 psi if it will make it. I noticed super fast fermentation with the wy 1332 starter as well that finished a 1L in about 18 hours and completely cleared at room temp an hour after removing from the stir plate.

Awesome I just ordered it from NB and got the wyeast 1332. Seems some ppl complain about tart flavor? I've never used it before but looking forward to it.
