Asda seem to be selling these 15L spring water carboys/vessels for £5.75ish. Not entirely sure if it's nationwide though...

Have to say this is my 1st wine kit. I was a bit sceptical after reading reviews, but Tesco is to blame for a 25% off deal on this 6 bottle kit and a can of 250ml RGJ concentrate. On degassing I'd a feeling that I'd oxidised more than expelling co2, so though I'd just made some vinegar - I...

My German friend told me homebrewing is non-existent in Deutschland. At around 60p a litre for beer he sees no need. But if you moved to Germany or the Czech Rep, etc... Would you still homebrew? Personally I started years ago for cost reasons, but now it's a hobby and I'm not so sure I'd give...

Hi I've lagered a couple of brews now from extract and all have turned out great. But I was wondering - can you lager from a kit? Say, a Cooper's Australian lager kit? I believe lager and pilsner kits usually come with an ale yeast, so do I have to sub that for a lager yeast? I've always found...
