Yup - the tried and tested way is to only top up to 20 or 21L instead of 23. Makes quite a difference to the flavour and mouthfeel of the brew, and has the benefit of making it a little stronger too.

I have done 2 Wherrys and the are fab just as they are, Just do one standard and see whet you think then change it if your not impressed.
You can get PETs from tesco 24 for just under £10
Other than that your local pubs chuck outs, just ask the landlord or staff!
