I did that coopers about 2/3 months ago and still have it as my favourite kit (including all malt ). Its a fantastic kit try be patient ......Then tear into it with pals :thumb:

Christ.....it's pretty

Shiney Shiney...I want one :pray:

Thanks

I use that one all the time for my beer (its the only one I have). Apart from needing a long arm to get in and clean I'd also recommend you get yourself a tap to make bottling/transfer alittle easier as syphoning is a pain tap and bottler why do clickys never work for me ? :hmm:

Very nice :clap: ...hope you have a large lock ...on the inside of the door ;)
