I had a Yammy RD400, had it stolen from outside work 😭 Cheers Tom

My first build had a Cyrix DX4-100 CPU and the box ran MS-DOS 6.22. Those were the days 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Tom

Hell yeah, my video encoding pc is still on xp. It's not used very often now but it's still working well 👍 Cheers Tom

Or was it sorbitol? Cheers Tom

Indeed. Boots London bitter was a favourite of mine. I even got Mrs soupdragon to knock one up once while I was at work 😁 "Brewers yeast in manitol" is another memory 🤔 Cheers Tom

They've certainly had issues in replying to emails for some time. I first contacted them over a year ago about stock and never got a reply 🥺 Cheers Tom

It would be a shame if they're not the same as they used to be. I always wanted to do a Courage Directors bitter kit (presumably Muntons) but they were discontinued before I got around to them. I'd hate the Brupaks to end up the same way 🥺 Cheers Tom

There's always the possibility of the younger generation not needing to ask so many questions on the internet. I would imagine there are a higher proportion of newer brewers with brewing parents they have watched as they were growing up Cheers Tom

Word is that Muntons "may" do limited runs of the Smugglers. I've got 4 to do and plan on doing something the same as you. Standard yeast X2, CML BEòIR and Four. Not sure about the 4th kit yet. I'm quite taken by their gold range Old English Bitter. I found it to be smooth and surprisingly...

Don't mention the B (ottles) word 🥶 Cheers Tom

I'd been getting less and less enjoyment out of my brew days for a good few years. Don't get me wrong, the beers I've been making had been significantly better than any of the kit brews I've done. The only kit brew that I can really say that I've enjoyed every last drop is Muntons Gold Old...

Ahhhhhhh, so as Rod said. Well done that man (or woman or it/them/rabbit or whatever else is currently doing the rounds) Cheers Tom

I don't get it Cheers Tom

And some purely for attention seeking 😞 Cheers Tom

Is that another one that I've not heard before? 🤨 Cheers Tom
