Welcome aboard charlieboy, I've done the Wilko cerveza and sweet Newkie brown before and I'm trying my first hoppy copper on Friday an bottling their delicate Pilsner on Saturday. With all of them I've added extra fermentables to bump up the ABV and hop teas or dry hopped or both to add flavour and aroma. I've enjoyed their kits so far, they're not the best kits on the market but I've liked the beer I've brewed. Picking up their kits for £8 as they are at the moment is good value and makes doing a two can kit an option. At the moment I'm grabbing any of the John Bull ale kits I can when they're on sale I really like their IPA and Best Bitter but again I do dress them up.
