as strubru23 says try barleybottom that's where I got mine and a few other things from, he does a great and fast service.

have used the hopshop and their service is excellent but as other people have said a little bit more expensive but don't mind paying a little bit more for good service.

No add sugar, the recipe's from reapers website and is very good value as well, just that my thermometer might of been out or i just missed up somewhere :oops: but as i have said the sample i tried when checking the gravity taste good :D so not too disappointed.
