Great kits, just check the use by date of the yeast, and preferable upgrade it to something like a safale s04 or a nottingham or windsor ale yeast.
Thanks MHBOne of the advantages of the Muntons kits is that the yeast is made by Saf; unless you are going to brew as a lager, dont waste money on a yeast upgrade.
Put the $'ers toward some Muntons Malt or some top finishing hops instead.

Hey MBOne of the classic English hops, Golding would be my first choice.
The recipe I sell for a Kilkenny clone (well Kilkenny before it got Fosterised beyond all recognition) is:-
Muntons Irish Cream Ale (the one you have)
Black Rock Amber Malt 1.5 Kg Can (I am thinking of changing that to 1Kg of Muntons Amber DME)
UK 145 EBC Crystal Malt (Grain) and 20 g Golding Pellets (steeped for 10 minutes)
East Kent Golding Plug; (dry hoped)
Comes out pretty good, especially if you let it age for 6 weeks to 3 months.

Sorry to interrupt, but are we talking here about the Mt Mellick Cream Ale? or is there another Muntons Irish kit I haven't heard of?
