50% off

[rozza2010]

Hi all,

I'm sure someone has mentioned this already but couldn't see anything.

Www.wilko.com has 50% off all the homebrew stuff :

 

[drago-mir]

items are disappearing while im on the site lol

 

[rozza2010]

Yeah things has started going out of stock v fast.

They didnt even advertise it on the homepage or anything.

Not sure if they do this every year?

 

[Fireball13801]

Looks like they are pulling out of homebrewing to me

 

[rozza2010]

Yeah that is what I originally thought, although havent they only just rebranded alot of there stock? To make it look more Wilko'sy

 

[mikeyjay84]

I reckon theyre just having a clear out in order to get rid of certain things but keep others. My reasoning is - some things that are out of stock 'will be back soon' and others dont have anything other than '(0) Quantity'. The back soon stuff seems to be the more popular stuff like wherry kits, golden ale etc which makes sense for them to keep?

 

[rozza2010]

Yeah, hope thats the case.

There are some of the more expensive brew kits (ibrew i think they are called) which are not included in the offer.

Hi Guys,

I work at Wilkos and am also a keen (but newbie) homebrewer. I can confirm that we are not exiting out of homebrew. We are just offering a short term great deal. We do this on our other categories and it is Homebrews turn this week. We have tried to time it with gift buying time for Fathers day. Fill your boots as stock if flying off the shelves.

Cheer
Steve

Yes, i called in yesterday at the Wakefield store and they were running the offer, a lot of the web site out of stock items were in stock in-store.
I had a beano yesterday, both online and in-store!! :thumb:

Are these reductions in store too?

Yes.

£8.45 for a 25gal fermentation bin, yeast nutrient, citric acid a dozen cork stoppers and half a dozen wine bottles. Normally the bin alone would be 55p more than that :thumb:

Just noticed a comment on the UK Hot Deals post about this that it's on until the 11th.

 

[mikeyjay84]

If you look at one of the other 2 wilkos sale threads on THBF, a fellow brewer who works at wilkos has chipped in with what going on :)

 

[Boatbrewer]

Guess where I am going tomorrow.

If there is anything left

I'm going in about an hour to pick up what i ordered online. Will see if there is anything on the shelves. I'm not sure if all wilkos have a homebrew section?
