Porter kit 06/14/2017
By Kevin Fraser
Well, the results will tell the story. I am very experienced, and have bought this kit many times. Surprised to see what has always been considered a critical step (aeration) omitted from the new instructions. But the yeast has changed as well so it may be a reflection of different characteristics. As I say, the results will tell. Good kit, good ingredients, simple directions, fast shipping.
