Anyone got any suggestions as to a different kit to use for this recipe?
Anyone tried a Tooheys Draught recipe of any kind?

Thoughts?...suggestions??

Tried the Tooheys Draught kit a while ago. Not bad. Try subbing in a Coopers Draught.

Cheers,
Greg

I used a Morgans Amber ale kit, and boiled 10g Cascade for 30mins, and the damn thing came out so friggin bitter, its almost undrinkable, even after 2 months.

Im gonna give it about 8-10 months before i try another one. :evil:
