At £23 for a Wilkos wheat beer kit that's bloody expensive plus the DME plus some liquid yeast and the rest this is going to cost in the region of £30. Pfffffffffffft. Blimey

I've done the wilko wheat and was lovely, only thing I'd add would be dextrose to bump up the alcohol, got lovely banana tastes going on, definitely doing again soon

You have the burco now Rob, so why don't you put your own AG recipe together after researching the main ingredients and post it up and let the good folks on here offer advice?

If I remember, isn't it orange peel (which I've seen in Leyland Rob) and coriander that gives it it's distinctive taste. I do love a wheat beer.
