Thanks for the valuable advice.

My favourite beer Becks is brewed according to the German purity laws. There is no sugar added. How is it that the kits all have sugar in them? Can you get a kit that doesn't add any sugar to the beer?

So you don't have to buy a priming kit. A KG of granulated sugar is fine to use?

I saw it somewhere that SodaStream in Germany was advertising them to be used to carbonate wine. So if it's good enough for wine. Then why not beer.

I'm thinking that I'm going to need 4 plastic kegs and a fermenter bucket, also a fridge. How do you get carbon dioxide into the keg beer? Do you prime the whole keg with sugar or do you attach a source of carbon dioxide? If it takes 3 weeks from start to finished brew. At what point do you...

I usually start at about 2pm and I'm all done come 9pm.

As you say the production will have to be big. That's why I'm thinking of just going straight to using kegs. I don't fancy sanitising loads of bottles with each batch.

This is the third move that this thread has had now. LOL

It's £10 a case when on offer at Tescos. Like I said I can take it or leave it. If I am enjoying a good beer. Why not go for it. Happy days.

It works out at a case of 20 X 275ml bottles a day. Saying that. I've not had any Becks in 5 months. So not an alcoholic. I can take or leave beer.

My outlay for Becks is about £300 a month. I would like to reduce that by a significant amount.

Using a kit. It comes out at about 40-50 pence a pint. How much does your brew cost per pint? Is it substaionally cheaper going from a recipe instead of a kit?

Can you use a SodaStream to carbonate the lager? Instead of using sugar in each bottle.

So would a Coopers lager kit need to be fermented at 10 degrees C?
