Where abouts in SA are you living Lee? You in Adelaide? I moved to the UK five years ago from North East Suberbs of Adelaide. The beer maybe tastless but you're in good hands with weather and parking! It's also the home of Coopers and penfolds wine. So it's not all bad. Oh and I almost forgot...

Hi all. Just like the new member Freespace I've been 'stalking' for a few weeks now and decided to do my part and join! I've just bottled my Coopers Lager which came with my kit and looking forward to tasting my hard (easy) work in two weeks time. I've already started planning my next brew...
