Very, very close to old Hopkins rum.
Close but no cigar
Made for my wife who enjoys the taste and flavour. Good value and an easy brew.
This lager brews easily and quickly. Leaving it for a week for 2nd fermentation and another week for the sediment to firm up in the garage, it is ready to drink in 3-4 weeks and the taste matches any pub bought lager.
Fairly easy to fill by syphon. I did manage to spill a little when trying to fill to the brim but leaving a little air at the top makes it easier. I don't suppose that will affect the longevity as bottles usually have a little air at the top too.
Stacked two high they take up half the shelf space compared to bottles so that's a bonus.
