I tried modifying a Brewer's Best kit and making it more personal, and the result is something that can be defined as not beer. I used the Dunkelweizen kit and racked it on top of a 750 ml bottle of malibu banana, and the flavor's just are not there.
The beer is not bad, but it is... odd tasting. Sort of that you can taste the liquor, but not the flavor of the liquor. I don't know how else to describe it. Couple that with the fact that my last batch failed to carbonate and ended up tasting metallic, and I have a streak of failure.
So now I have committed to saying that I am not modifying any more kits. It is going to be a kit or a recipe - not mixing them.
Oh well. I have a Black Lager kit and a Hop Nog kit to burn through, then I might start recipes.
Sorry all, just blowing off some steam.
