I have actually done one of these myself, think it was under £10. Sturdy plastic bag type of kit. Very easy to make, simple instructions. Yeast 'welded' to the bottom of the plastic sachet. I did deviate and used a medium spray malt as felt it would need all the help. Brewed exactly as it...

I'm planning on making an Elderflower Champagne soon, well when the flowers are out. Whilst in my local 99p shop, spotted these Some non alcoholic carbonated drink, in what could be a good bottle. The plastic cork tried to escape as soon as I took the metal cage off, anyone else seen them and...

Just wondering on what kinda combination could do with this. Been buying equipment and expermenting with kits, and as have a Geordie Bitter and 1kg Muntons Dark Spaymalt, just wondering what kind of ratio sugar should be replaced at, to keep abv consistent. Quite enjoyed the Geordie brewed as...

My aquarium heater turned up Friday morning so ran to Wilko to complete the water bath kit, half way thought, doh, should of measured bucket, then remembered, fool, I got the bucket from wilko :D Carried one around in the shop until I located their plastic tray storage things, £7 bargain. So...
