Smithwicks Ale (9D) - MINI MASH Homebrew Ingredient Kit

Iíve brewed this kit several times. My nephew who lives in Ireland says itís better than the original.

I brewed this Dec 31st to be ready by St. Paddy's. I bottled after three weeks in primary. I followed the liquid extract recipe to a "T" and it has turned out fantastic. I am having a really hard time keeping my hands off of them. I have had to hide the last seven bombers from myself to make them last another two weeks until St. Paddy's.

Brewed the extract version; opened a bottle only after 2 weeks in the bottles. Wow! this is a great beer! 5th kit, but I believe this will be my favorite. This was to be a beer I'd let sit and take with me on a visit to my family in October. It won't last till then. Anoter great AHS clone. 2 for 2!

I ordered this kit, and when I saw this hop bill, Cut them in HALF! It won 1 'st place at a local taste and vote, and would have been spot on with the full hop bill. I will order this again and again.

I agree with a previous poster, the hops should be cut by about half. Granted its only been in the keg for a couple weeks, hopefully the bitterness will mellow out with a little aging.
