Since brewing Mangrove Jacks Citra IPA kit last year, I've wanted to do it again. Right up there with the very best kits I've done - possibly even the best. However, it's been out of stock for months - I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone on here know why it's disappeared? I'm begining to...

I'm lucky enough to have a brew fridge so can brew all year round, but I've just put my latest brew (Mangrove Jacks Mango Pale Ale) into the garden shed in PET bottles having finished secondary fermentation. The shed gets the sun on its roof for 3/4 hours in the morning, but obviously there's no...
