    Hi, I'm looking for help on what to brew next, I like mainly lagers, beers pilsners. Etc. I've done a few brews with mainly success. One went bad but I know why, can someone recommend a kit they have used ie coopers, muntons or extract kits or similar. Thanks.

    If you don't mind doing a boil, this is one of my favourite pale ales https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/hbc-extract-american-pale-ale-23-litres-p-1697.html
    Just add 2.8-3kg of dme.

    If it has to be a kit id say some kind of coopers ipa hack. The ipa is the only one ive done that I enjoyed after a couple of weeks in the keg, bitterness was ok but could of done with some hop aroma.

    I've found the Cooper's Traditional Draught turns out really well as a clean, golden, mildly hoppy beer. One of the better kits I've made.

    Doing a boil doesn't bother me, thanks for the ideas, keep them coming if possible.

    This APA. It's my most recent brew and the best by a fair bit out of about 10 or 12 brews. Doing it again. Only I took out one of the cans of lme, mashed 2kg of pale malt, added 500g dme and also dry hopped it.

    Only now seeing your preference was lagers/pilsners, apologies. This is a lager they do in the same range.
