Jim's Beer Kit

I remember doing "London Bitter" early80s, late 70s from Boots, Dare i say it tasted fine to me. How times have changed, For the better really. Used to use the Boots genuine brewers yeast sachets which came in liquid form which where in their ESB kits but sold separately as well in my extract brews...

Just in case there's anyone who's not noticed yet, they will be continuing under new ownership. Announcement on their website today

Brilliant news .

I'm keeping everything crossed that someone locally will buy what must be a very busy viable business to invest in . Recently put in a large order of hop...

That does look very nice beer Eric , can't beat supping a pint through a nice head and have it lace the glass

Brilliant news ! .

Brewbrite already has carageenan (protafloc) in it, so shouldn’t need any more. It does. That highlights why I am fed up with explaining. There is only a tiny amount of chondras crispus also know as (correct spelling caragheen) in BrewBright. The correct additions for 23 litres of wort are 4 gr Bre...

We do have a few answers to the rising costs of yeast that we will be released over the next month or so, should be really good;)

That's intriguing Rob , the suspense will be killing us now ! .
