Trying a new kit

[Bigdok]

Hi folks I visited a different Wilkos today and they had a lot more choice of kits. I was wondering if anyone has tried this kit and what did they think of it. Thanks bigdok

I bottled mine today tastes ok and looks and smells pukka.

That's 'Dingo IPA'

Bought one in the summer, went back for more. Got another batch bottled to test this weekend. Had a delay in priming due to the storage shed being too cold but I've had a heater on in there and the plastic bottles are pretty fat now.

Have another can on my 'to brew' shelf.

I'm generally pleased with the Wilko one-can kits and I don't pimp them. I just wish they would package them better as they all arrive dented. I'm drinking the IPA. £12 plus 65p for the sugar makes it 32p a pint! Even with the £5 delivery, it's only 44p.

If you're using table sugar try farm foods. They had it 2 for £1 before I tried glucose.

Two what for a pound? Do you mean kg?

Yes, 2 bags of 1kg, sorry.

It would take me three-and-a-half hours to drive to my nearest FarmFoods!

Oh well. They're everywhere down here
