For information I have made this kit twice, I will speak about the first brew and then the second. This was the first two tin brew that I decided to do. After speaking to Cliff in my local home brew shop he passed comment that he rates the Brupaks rage as some of the best kits available, on...

Hi All, hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a few friends round on Saturday for a few drinks; I told them they didn’t need to bring anything as I had a batch of Coopers Lager that was ready for drinking. When they turned up one had 8 cans of 1664 and the other some cans of Becks and the...
