Thank you to everyone who submitted beer and wine samples from their brewing with Lizz’s Fizz Homebrew Kits  :-) Here are some comments. 

Johan’s Pilsner Beer

This beer was submitted in a neatly labelled glass pint bottle - AHA Dive Scuba Gear Beer (!).   10/10 for Packaging!  When we poured it, it had an excellent foam. The beer tasted clean with no major off-flavours.  There was a slight ‘paper’ and ‘honey’ flavour which is associated with slightly stale beer but this was most likely because we let it mature for a little too long (my bad).  The amber glass bottle is great for keeping the carbonation in and protecting the beer against light damage.  Very drinkable!

Maryke’s Rose Wine

A lovely fruity, champagne-like wine with a definite kick!  The flavour had the dryness typically found in sparkling wine.  Very drinkable as I had to keep my husband away to have some left for measurements!  The SG measured from the bottled wine was 0.092 and pH was 3.6.  Estimated alcohol 13% v/v.

This wine was started on 12 December with red grape juice and the Wine/Cider kit.  She made 17 litres, adding 15 litres of juice at the start and an extra 2 litres of juice after 2 weeks. It was bottled after 3 weeks.  The sample was 4 weeks when I tasted it.
