Sounds nice but im more of a poverty brewer at the moment and all that jam sound of pricey. Bet it would tast amazing though!

Ok ive just started drinking this and its really good, quite sweet and lovely strawberry flavor. It wasnt too pricey to make 4 jars of Tesco jam at about 80p each plus sugar
