Bullseye

[RichieBeer]

I was watching an old episode of Bullseye on Challenge TV earier. Reckon it was broadcast in about 1986. One of the prizes on "Bully's Prize Board" was Home Brewing equipment. I can see an Ironmaster kit. Anyone recognise any of the other gear from 30+ years ago?

No don't recognise any of it, I got married in 85 and was homebrewing a few years before that, I think I bought the Boots kits, not sure.

Got to love the 80's. I wonder how many contestants from the show went home and brewed beer in their speed boat :)

Surely it was the caravan that they brewed in. The speedboat only ever got pushed out when someone lost.

Those tins with the white lids look familiar, and probably still in my dad's garage, full of odds and ends.

Put a 'B' in front and hey presto.

It was a oke (put a J in front)

Whole crystal malt but no mill, a gas cylinder for a pressure barrel with no adapter, sack of malt full of hops (it's surprising how many people think beer is brewed from hops alone) it's no wonder home brewing in the 1980s left many disappointed.
Those brown bags of stuff in the top left hand corner ring a bell, can't quite place them though.
Like Banbeer, I also used Boots stuff, it was great, I still have their pressure barrels (I understand they made aluminium barrels, but could never afford one) and their malt extract came in full, 4 lb tins.
