I used them on my first brew a Coopers Bitter Kit. They worked very well but prove to be expensive. If you find funneling sugar into a bottle "A PAIN" then try the batch prime method. Simplicity itself :thumb: . HOW TO BATCH PRIME CLICKY

Since you asked, I think they are a waste of money.
Also they are inflexible, it's hard to vary the amount you use to prime a bottle with. I used to just stand a bag of sugar on top of electronic scales, and take out the desired amount for each bottle.
Then istarted batch priming, and i think that is easier.

Just to give another view. I have used them on the beers I have bottled and it makes it a fast and simple process to pop one in each bottle.
The convenience and lack of mess, for me, make it worth whatever the difference in cost is.
I will probably only brew half a dozen times a year, so its easier just to have a couple of bags in the cupboard. Also a half used bag presents no problems of spillage.

Of course that's fair enough - each to their own.
I like to use different amount of priming sugar, depending what i am bottling.
How are you finding the Muntons Imperial Stout by the way? I did that last year and it was delicious, I was upset when it ran out!

It's very nice with hints of liquorice and toffee. Its a good winter warmer type beer.
I'm glad I made it for Christmas and would highly recommend to anyone who likes stout or Guinness.
In fact I'm going to stick a couple in the fridge right now

Ask Muntons.
For me its not all about out and out alcoholic strength, in fact there are times when having more of a less alcoholic drink is better.
For what its worth I appreciate a beer for its taste far more than how quickly it gets me drunk and generally its the right combination of the two factors that make it good or not.
This is definitely a kit I would brew again (at this strength) and be very happy with it.
