Hi all,

We currently have stock of the following lines at a special price. The used by date on these kits is February 2008 and I honestly don't know whether the importers will bother bringing any more in.

they are a good beer... i used candi sugar instead of dextrose for fermentables and priming... the Grand Cru tastes just like the Hoegaarden grand Cru...

I do suggest making a starter from the yeast from a bottle of the particular style of beer you are trying to make... I purchased a bottle of Hoegaarden forbidden fruit as it had more sediment than the grand cru.

I have a Brewferm tripple aswell, but i need to crack my 750ml bottle of triple moine to get the yeast before i do anything....

I ordered a Kriek, Framboos (perfect timing, was about to have another expensive attempt at them both from scratch), and Grand Cru Thursday afternoon. Not heard back, so I hope they were dropped into the post on Friday.

Hi All,

Just so you know I go this response from CB:

'I do not know what yeast they supply with these kits and any attempts to find out have failed ... having said that, most seem to be happy with the supplied yeast.

According to the instructions, the 2 kits you mentioned require 500g of Candy Sugar and make up 12 & 9 litres respectively."

Which kits did you inquire about? I didn't order any Candy Sugar to go with the ones I got.

I asked about the Kriek, the Framboos and the Grand Cru.

I ordered 2 packs of candi sugar for the Kriek and the Grand Cru, Think I will use malt or dex for the Framboos.

i think you can make candy sugar but I couldn't be bothered, have enough to do at the moment.

Not sure why he only mentioned 2 kits?

Yeah, did a bit of research on this, turns out you can't really. The Belgian candy sugar is different... it comes from beets and is not fully refined. The instructions for making candy sugar that are floating around on this board are really instructions for making inverted cane sugar which is not the same thing, though it may be similar.
