Jim's Beer Kit

Yeah I've used finings before with this and it worked fine.
Also primed with 120g for 15litres, that gave a good fizz rather than a rocket!

Most of the hombrew online suppliers do free delivery once you spend £50 so as long as you get two it'll be £25 each.

Try art of brewing or the malt miller, both of them have had good reports here.

I'd say stick to the instructions, at least for the first Brew.
The festival razorback IPA kit also has 3kg malt extract plus brewing sugar and that certainly didn't lack body etc from using sugar.

Is the 15 litres limit set in stone? You'll get a lot more choice with 23 litre kits (and fermenters).
A trip to wilkos would sort you out with all the essentials - and I reckon you can't go wrong with a Woodfordes Wherry for a first brew.

Wow HUGE mark up on the Festival kits. Quite dissapointing as that will put folk off making some really nice brews!

Not to shoot down your brewing plans but another idea might be to visit a local small brewery and see about getting a couple of casks for your wedding. I was at a great do last year where the bride and groom had been to the brewery, chatted about exactly what sort of beer they wanted and then delive...

As most brews won't be happy as low as 15 degrees you might want to get a fish tank heater off ebay- should only be a fiver and once you leave it in your fermenter will keep the temperature nice and healthy..

I made this kit last night with 40g of Target, boiled for 10 mins then added to the FV. I was surprised at the colour for an IPA - it is a pretty dark brown.
Soon see how it tastes..
