Ooo thanks, when I looked first, I only saw their recipe kits.

Places that sell kits also have shipping. I was looking at one the other day that was £6.99 shipping free on over £60

Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't have a lot of space for storing grains so I can't really bulk buy I've looked at them and I think I want to go with these guys: I beepbooped in a newkie recipe (one of my favourite session brews.) and it works out no more expensive than buying kits...

Can anyone recommend any small All Grain kits? I tried getting into the hobby a few years back then life got away with me. I am once again trying to get into it, but I am not a huge drinker. I drink maybe 2 times a week. So 2-4 drinks per week at most. So if I go with the large 40+ bottle kits...

They have been picked up today thanks.

I brought 200+ bottles for a big brew up at work. Never happened and they are filling up space I want for another project. If you can come and collect them you can have them for free. Most of them are unused. I would like to keep some for later use though. PM me if interested. Location is...

OK, thanks for the input. A bit late to start it now but defo a project for next weekend. I will leave it out for people to trip over, that way if I forget it again, I am sure someone will be more than willing to remind me through the use of a frying pan applied to the back of my head.

I found this AG kit that I forgot I had, in a box under the stairs. I brought it last september and well.. Cool, dry, dark cupboard. Would it still be safe to use? Or should I follow the rule "If in doubt, brew it anyway and have someone test it first" Edit Sorry.. January this year, so not...

Ah Lincolnshire... Like Yorkshire just not quite as good.

Wilko oxyclean is only 30% concentrate of sodium percarbonate while the brewclean is 70%. You need to use more to get the same effects then you have all the left over gunk to clean out. Defeats the purpose of using a no rinse sanitiser if you are going to rinse it out with unsanitised water. I...

"A glass a day keeps the doctor away" A glass of wine each day has been scientifically proven through studies to be benificial to health and reduces chances of getting cancer. Wine is alcohol. Beer and ale are also alcohol. Thus beers and ales are good for you. More = better Thus fight...

There used to be 2 in my home town. One day they both appeared, about two years later they both closed. I thought that they were a failed start up at the time.

Ok, thanks for all your help. If that is the problem I think I will be tempted into replacing my FV's with Carboys. I have a bunch of 1 gallon demijohns I inherited but I find them more.. interesting? to clean.

Hi. I have just recently started with homebrew (I did have previous experience but so little it is irrelevant) I brought a Northern Brewer kit and the bucket has seen 2 batches of beer through it so far, the one that came with it, and the second is just a simple ginger beer and yet both...

If you are lucky like me, your LHBS still sells spraymalt cheaper than wilko. Mine sells Muntens @3.95 a bag. If you have a LHBS give them a look before Wilkos. Support your LHBS so it doesn't have to shut down. Unless of course they are ripping you off.
