I find the Brewiser Ultra brew (500gm Light Dry Malt, 250gm Dextrose, 250gm Maltodextrin) is a good option for almost any kit.

Same here, ultrabrew is usually only $6 and worth every cent - used it in pale ales, stouts and bavarian lagers.

One of the reasons I dislike coopers (sugars) and brew craft (converter kits). They are only there to sell a product not help improving your brewing. They make it seem like a secret formula that you have to get from them when it is not. Much better to go with brewiser or a HBS shop that willing tells you what you are getting
