Hi I have mostly been making kit yeast with my kits....but have used other yeasts.
I made a Coopers Dark Ale (Only made one so I cannot compare with others)
Normal BE2 plus 250 grams brown sugar
+ Danstar West Coast Ale Yeast BRY 97
This is probably the best beer I have made. The head is great, lasts tell the end and the taste is a good bitterness but a nice hint of
sweetness - delicious.
I have found a lot of kit beers or the beers I have made) to have an after taste bitterness in the throat - but not this one - so I can only
put it down to the yeast.
Can kit yeasts be a bit more 'bitter' (after taste - not the bitterness) ?
I did use 250 grams brown sugar...can that make a difference, I would have thought not a lot ?
Thanks
