Online HB Kit Review Site

Post by Jay »

Hi Guys,

I know this came up before but this site has reviews by brewers of just about all of the most commonly available HB kits and also enables other brewers to submit their own reviews.

http://www.hbkitreviews.com

If everyone goes there and reviews a couple of their favourite kits (or even some sh**house ones) then that would make it a whole lot easier for the rest of us to find a good kit when trying to make a particular style of beer.

I have no affiliation with the site, I was just there yesterday and thought that it would be good if there were more reviews for some of the kits. Just an idea.

Cheers,
Jay.

Yeah I seemed to find a few familiar names in there 8)

The site's a good idea considering the amount of times I'll be wanting to make, say a dark ale, and I'l be umming and uhhing over two or three kits.

Cheers,
Jay.

OK Guys, Next installment to Homebrew Kit Reviews is here..


BREWBLOG
Have been meaning to set up something similar for ages now and yesterday I was googling around and found some software that almost offers exactly what I was looking for so on that note, BREWBLOG was created.

What is BREWBLOG?
For those who do not know, a blog is as described by answers.com:
log

(WeBLOG) A Web site that contains dated entries in reverse chronological order (most recent first) about a particular topic. Functioning as an online journal, blogs can be written by one person or a group of contributors. Entries contain commentary and links to other Web sites, and images as well as a search facility may also be included. A blog with video clip entries instead of text is a "video Weblog" (see vlog).

Although some blogs invite feedback and comments from visitors, Internet newsgroup discussions, which started long before the Web, tend to be more question-and-answer oriented (see newsgroup).


WHICH, IN SIMPLE TERMS:

You can sign up via the website and create you own mini website where you can writes down imformation such as brew entries, brew day stories, recipes and upload photos.


So if you are interested in having your own mini site to show the world your brewing and everything that goes along with it, have a look at BREWBLOG.

YES it is TOTALLY FREE

Any Questions Just let me know.

Cheers and Merry Christmas.
