Brewuk website "down for maintenance"

[RichardM]

Of course I have so your guess is wrong. Read my question. " Is there any news".

The news is they are being liquidated, which you should know if you have read the previous posts

The answer was in post #114 below (your post was #117) so the question asking if you had read the last two pages was spot on!

Just got the "Notice of proposed creditors voluntary liquidation" for Brew UK in the post.

Turns out, since they owe me a 1 kg bag of malt, I'm a creditor. Considering the lawyers are taking the time and trouble to follow-up on such small amounts, I'm guessing they're not being paid with smack-packs.

Thankyou so much.

Thankyou Chippy. Now I know.

I'm a big fan of the Crafty Brew Extract kits that BrewUK used to do. Apols for the silly question but are there other places that do similar kits?
This is the range I'm referring to:

Or is the only option to buy the components separately and use the recipe sheets I've kept?

I wondered that too as their AG kits were fantastic.
I've had a search around the Interweb but haven't found any other outlets, yet.

GEB do extract kits with steeping grains and hops:

Craftybrews and Brewuk are both companies registered to Tanya Hughes.

Many of the recipes came from the Graham Wheeler book and there are other companies out there doing the same recipe kits e.g. Worcs Hop Shop Kits | Worcester Hop Shop (I thought they did Extract as well as AG kits but can't seem to find them).

Or buy your own ingredients. The malt extract is the biggest outlay, cheapest I've found latetly is Brew2bottle £5.95 for a kg of DME Light Spray Malt 1kg

BrewUk looks like it is now a Youngs Home brew company

BrewUK

 

[RichardM]

That is *****************************/ Young's Home Brew Limited. Looks like they are expanding in to retail sales.

Edit
It looks like I'm not allowed to post a link to a homebrew supplier, but if you want to see who I am talking about the Google or any other search engine will find it

 

[Little Rock Brewing]

Awesome. Hope they do the same All Grain kits.

 

[Andrew Booth]

looks very much like Youngs have bought the name the original company for brewuk is in liquidation. Sounds very much like Youngs are expanding into retail sales.

Not sure which website you're referring to as searching for Young's simply brings up results for Young's

Cheers Tom

I was referring to Youngs website. I provided a link to it so people can see that this is the same company whose name is now on the BrewUK website

Ah, see what you mean now about the link not posting. I wonder if it's a forum specific thing as the website itself loads fine

Cheers Tom

I think the URL got blocked on this site over the Brew2Bottle going bust and owing Youngs money saga a few months back

The thing is, it will be more expensive for all Youngs produced/supplied/branded products as they simply could not undercut their resellers.
