Thanks for the tip off, I picked up 3 this morning, they were priced up at £20 but went through at £10. Mark

I'm afraid the above sort of sums it up, it always appears like his team watch the news all day tell him which way things are going so he can appear on TV to demand it just before the government announce it. I much prefer the calm confident kindly wise grandfather style of Wales's Labour leader...

Yes please

Hi Rover , I give the Hammer about a month before trying and often a lot longer ! I put some aside of everything I brewed last year so I had a good variety for Christmas, the Thor gets better the longer you leave it in my opinion. The Thor does clear beautifully however it does get chill haze...

Hi Rover , In the end I went back to the Hammer of Thor kits (6%) because my family and friends like it, I think it is a "hybrid " kit using a yeast that works at higher temperatures than a true lager yeast. We also like the Wilko Mexican which is a nice lighter beer (4%,) Which the women...

I have all my bottled beer on metal shelving in my unheated uninsulated workshop and have had no problems with my beer I think it went down to -4 here last night. Whenever I get a beer from the workshop it's colder than ones in my fridge ! Don't forget that the stronger the beer the less chance...

I've brewed dog twice, cat twice and hammer four times, I've brewed the kits exactly to the instructions nothing extra and not short. I've been very happy with the results and not had a bad brew so far . It's bit of a suprise to read yours and others experience, but I suppose one man's meat is...

I saw these kits in Merthyr Tesco today reduced to £35. Mark

Cheers, thanks for your input. Mark

The Cooper's kit is actually cheaper than the Wilko one ! Do you rate it above their European and Australian lagers ? Mark

Thanks for the tip, it sounds like its one to try. Mark

I'd heard that was good, I've done the Wilko's one a few times and always enjoyed the results. Mark

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies, I don't mind the longer time in the bottle, as I could stash It for use in spring for family gatherings ( if we are permitted) Mark

Almost every thing I read about lager kits is negative, I live in a house without central heating so I think I could do a kit with lower temperature lager yeast if such a beast exists. If anyone knows of a decent Lager kit please let me know about it. Thanks, Mark

I've done this one a couple of times , don't panic I'm pretty sure I did it in the afternoon , there was no activity when I went to bed but had started by the next morning. Be aware when it gets going there is quite a sulphur smell for a good few days, it's the only brew my wife had moaned...

No complaints here, think you are doing well under pressure. Looking forward to Black Friday , probably a lot more than you are ! Mark

I received my order today a week after ordering, despatched yesterday when I received notice and tracking details, I received this morning a text message to tell me of arrival time and received the goodies before ten this morning as scheduled. The package was really well packed as usual and...

Hi , Yes crown caps put on with a bench capper, I've put them in my very cold workshop upright and all is well. I didn't mention but may be relevant that I switched on the heating this week which on reflection may have affected it. I had wondered that if while upright the bottles had been...

Anyone have any thoughts on this ? Mark

Hi Guys, I'm after a bit of advice regarding an issue I'm having, I have a batch of muntons Belgian ale in leffe 750ml bottles all was well with the bottles while they have been upright on my racking but yesterday I moved the racking to my workshop and put the bottles into a traditional...
