So I wanted to get a start on my second batch 'make more then you can drink' so to speak.
Used an Aldi brand still spring water £1 for 4x2L bottles
£8 from Wilkos. Nothing amazing method wise, just followed the tin again. Ronseal style.

I have a DJ on the go and just want to go and get more!
Had this on tap in Camden beginning of the year.
Did not approve :sick:
Even swapped it with a mate for his [censored mass produced lager]
Some nice suggestions coming tho :D
