Hi Pablo,

Welcome to the forum :drink:

You'll need more/bigger kit to make the jump from 6-bottle wine kits to 40 pint beer kits. If you don't have any of this kit, might be an idea to buy an all inclusive kit (kit plus gear) to get you started.

If you do have the kit, Wilkos Pilsner at about ~£8 seems to be a good buy.

Hi
Yes I also got the larger kit with it, big bucket aswell as a large wide neck vat with handles on. I will try wilkos out, although not a fan of pills

That's the one am after reviews look great, someone said its not strong lager, but if I add more sugar will it make it stronger? Is that how it works ?
