Hey there everybody, can you help a fellow brewer out by checking on the kits I just ordered? Ive been brewing for around 10-15 years off and on, and my brother has brewed with me 3 or 4 times. I am planning on doing a massive brew day next weekend with my brother and cranking minimum two of these batches out. I just got these three kits from Northern Brewers Columbus Day Sale ($14.92 each + yeast), and the reviews were generally good but not stellar.
Northern Brewer SMASH Session Ale Simcoe/Pils
Northern Brewer Irish Red
Northern Brewer Nut Brown Ale
Are there any simple additions that anybody would suggest that I make to the above recipes (specifically to add a bit more mouthfeel and complexity to the Nut Brown or to a lesser degree the Irish Red)?
Should I keep with the yeast suggested? Ive just got the DanStar dry Notty for the Nut Brown and Irish Red, I have to go pick up the yeast for the SMASH separately.
Looking forward to some feedback, thanks!
