I just took delivery of these two kits. It was from a place called Whitehall coffee & emporium. I messaged them directly on Facebook as I seen they sold homebrew. I had a chat with the owner and they said they're his kits under his name but I believe they're made by hamstead homebrew. Both kits got got hop pellets and hop extract liquid. Quick delivery too. They arrived within two days.
Another homebrew delivery

Have they got a website for the homebrew stuff rather than just Facetube page? They do seem to have some of Hamstead's kits but the ones you've got although different do actually look similar.
There looks to be a web address on the boxes but I can't make it out
Cheers Tom
Unfortunately I think it's just on Facebook. They did have a homebrew website Darwin homebrew but it doesn't seem to be working now
Is that the web address on the bottom of the label on the boxes?

Right o.
As you say, it looks like Hamstead make them up for him. I've contacted Chris at Hamstead to see if he's got thoughts for putting together something along the lines of Black Sheep Bitter. Was late on Friday so I've not had a reply yet

He must have heard me posting about it as I've had a reply this morning. His suggestion for a Black Sheep Bitter is........They have always been really good when I've emailed them. Let me know if you get a reply
1 x base 2, 1 x base 3
Grain teabags 2 x no.1, 2 x no. 4 and 1 x no.6 put the no.6 in for the last 5 minutes of steep only.
Hop teabags 1 x fuggles and 1 x goldings and a dab yeast.
I need to get through at least another 2 brews before I can justify placing an order or risk a "look/glare" from Mrs Soupdragon. "Haven't you got enough beer stuff?" she would say
That's a contradiction in itself, you can't have enough beer stuff Let me know if you order the black sheep recipe. I've asked if he can list it with the other Craft Packs.
Cheers Tom
Haha I know the feeling the wife doesnt say anything anymore. I've got a hamstead homebrew pilsner ready to bottle. It's currently sitting at 1.014, but the starting gravity was slightly higher than needed so it works out at 4.1 %. I'm happy with that and it tastes great. I've got a funky bow wow to brew next then the brown ale and the IPAHe must have heard me posting about it as I've had a reply this morning. His suggestion for a Black Sheep Bitter is........

plus 10 pints of Pinter pale ale. I will definitely order one to try. Cheers Pete
Chris said he has plans to add more craft packs to the list but said having the time to do them and finding actual shelf space in-store for them is quite an issue. He also said that if there were any other particular recipes that I/we/anyone fancied doing, simply drop him an email or call and he can sort something out from the available list of ingredients.
As you said, he comes across a very helpful and knowledgeable chap. I'm looking forward to getting an order in, hope I don't have to wait too long

He's always been great with me too. That's good to know the craft pack brews are amazing. I loved the cardinals ale. For me though the only problem was it finished at 5%, but when you drink it, it goes down so smooth and after 3 pints it hits you haha quality though
Not a problem for me then, I'm a boring old git and just have 1 pint before my tea (dinner for people living in the south
) and a glass of wine afterwardsCheers Tom
Well I've finally got around to placing an order. 1x Cardinals ale, 1x No Bull Black Country Bitter (Bathams bitter) and a York brewery Yorkshire Terrier. Not sure which to do first. Will have a good read and see what hop/grain additions there are before deciding
Cheers Tom
