Ohhhhhh...... Ceramic tops. The web photo looked like plastic so I hadn't bothered. I'll get on over as soon as they reopen and check them out.
Happy Christmas.

I got some today, with ceramic tops from the range. None at the first one, and last 3 boxes at another. Hoping they are not discontinuing.
Mbarn said:Interesting Dave. You're right, they are plastic from the Range! Fooled me until I checked them against some other bottles I got at more than twice the price, and it's now clear the range ones are plastic. I note on eBay you can buy ceramic replacements for £6.50/12 with free postage, so still a decent saving even if the tops supplied by the Range are rubbish, and need replacing.
they looked ceramic from the quick look I got at them. At least they are not the really cheep plastic they used to beOnlyFerment said:Mbarn said:I got some today, with ceramic tops from the range. None at the first one, and last 3 boxes at another. Hoping they are not discontinuing.
I got some today too. They have plastic tops (Stupidly I didn't check before buying them ) but appear to be a good solid one so time will tell if they are any good.
I checked on the website and they don't show much homebrew at all - no bottles,fermenters nor white wine kit so I'm guessing they are discontinuing HB, though they did have quite a few bottles and for some reason a large stack of fermenters in store.
