Don't think chocolate stout is necessarily an american thing, Ditch. Youngs make a fine example and they're a British brewery. Superquinn stock this, if you have one near you:

Brian; Bloody decent of ye to suggest it, mate. But, seriously ..... I'm always just too aware that a pint's come from a bottle.

No. What I should do is put one of something different on my monthly order, at least now and then. It's bloody hard though. Because I'm just so extremely happy with what I get, it's against all reason to replace a kit and spend a week suffering something second rate because of it :|

Aha! And what am I at pains to try and get across to so many? Without wishing, or trying, to preach on behalf of Coopers. I reckon they've developed a range of gear there aimed at suiting the original customer base:

Easy to make. Does what it says on the (kit) can. Tolerant of a wider range of temperatures ~ due to a bloody Great strain of dry yeast. Most of all? Tastes great in next to no time :mrgreen:

Compare that to the other 'major player' and their customer base .....

No. Don't get me started ....! :roll:
