Montieths Black

[brewnmotion]

Hey,
What would be the closet kit for Montieths black?

[brewnmotion]

you're evidently also based in Wlg or Upper Hutt - worse case Akld. We've had temps around 33 - 36 degrees in Upper Hutt, the garage floor itself was 26 the other day, so attempting to keep things cool is proving interesting.

most defintly am In Upper Hutt I have a temp controled freezer I ferment in and is invalubale at the moment best damn money I have every spent!! if you like brewing and enjoy the drinking good beer a controled ferment is by far the best way to achieve this!!

Hi brewnmotion, welcome.

Don't be daunted mate, there are lots of good tips here and everyone has been through this. I would reinforce what Glen said- replace your sugar, with malt extract. Your beer will improve 100% straight away. It doesn't really matter what type you use-Pale, medium or dark (for this recipe that is). Having said that stick with pale, you won't alter the recipe too much that way.

Definitely read John Palmer, that is the home brewers bible, IMO. Start basic, once you have done a brew, or 2, you will gain confidence and everything you read here and in Palmer, will become clearer.

Keep asking questions, mate and happy brewing.
