Brew2Bottle 100g Yeast Nutrient (Di-Ammonium Phosphate & Ammonium Sulphate)
Use sparingly! I put 125 grams in a 5-gallon brew. The first time I used it, I put in far too much, and because of the high dextrin content, which the yeast has to work hard to ferment, my brew stuck at around 020 gravity. However, it is excellent for that last stage of fermentation in the barrel, ensuring good body, residual sweetness, and good head retention. It's a good replacement for adjuncts if you don't have facilities to mash. I used to mash, but no longer have the equipment or the space. I used to condemn kits, and would not use malt extract, but modern kits are very good. Commercial breweries often use malt extract these days as part of the formula, so the public palette is more used to that flavour.
This is an excellent yeast, and a true top-fermenter. However it is rated to perform best at a relatively high temperature. I pitched at 40 degrees, and surrounded the tub with a duvet to avoid heat loss. It fermented out very quickly in just 3 days. However, I think the high temperatures introduced fruity esters, which some people like, and there are even commercial beers with peach and apricot undertones. Personally, although the finished beer is excellent, I will choose a lower temperature yeast next time, such as "Nottingham", which also has good reviews. For me a fermenting temperature of 20-25 degrees is much better, although slower. It's very good, but it depends what you are aiming for.
Brilliant service and products really fast and efficient
Great items just took a long time to get to me with royal mail

Haven't finished the brew yet but looks promising- be careful with instructions in the box, I got generic flagship instructions and ive filled to 23L instead of 20L (it also called for 1 stage of hops not 2, luckily I caught it so I can double hop)
Use specific hazy IPA instructions online if the ones in the box are generic
These kits make home winemaking easy and great value. My wife and I are amazed at quality it’s thrown a shadow over supermarket wines we prefer these by far. My favourites so far are Malbec, Viognier, and Chardonnay. When I have brought these to a meal with friends you can see scepticism over home label followed by “that’s lovely” when they taste the wine.
Changed to SG wine a good few months ago and really enjoy this Chardonnay. It’s cleared and ready to drink within the 7 days where some other brands I’ve found need a little longer than stated.
For the price of this it’s great value for money and has a great flavour.
very drinkable fruity and smooth perfect for a summer evening
Used in tandem with sugar to recommended amounts. Gives a subtle, but noticeable improvement to the final product.
Decent quality crown caps. Fit/seal well. Not much else to say!
Brilliant delivery service. Never any problems unlike most on line sellers.
I brew the Belgian beers, which are excellent and as enjoyable as the ones I drink when staying in the Netherlands with my Dutch friends.

Been using this wine kit for quite a while now. Always consistent outcome, my brother who's a bit of a wine snob loves the Chilean merlot. Brew to bottle is a brilliant supplier, super fast delivery
The offer on this kit with the Mangrove Jacks beer enhancer makes this a go to brew. Ferments well without overflowing and makes a great tasting beer. I brew these on a regular basis and it never lasts long enough, a sad moment when the last bottle is washed out but looking forward to the next brew!
I ordered some fermentation bucket with airlock and taps they arrived thd next day really pleased,great service,thank you.
