Jim's Beer Kit

Yes, I got mine on ebay. The extension I don't need, thanks.

Hello Dean, yes it's like that but black. I don't know if there are different grades but mine said 'medium'. To be honest, anything will do as long as it produces a vaguely creamy head (the French here like a bit of a 'mousse')!

Has anyone got a sparkler for a handpump that they could send me asap? I just lost mine in a field in the middle of nowhere and need one for an event on friday the 31st July (next friday). I've ordered a couple more from ebay but they won't come until the 31st at the earliest (so probably not) :( I ...
