Been brewing beer since Feb08 and can still say I'm having fun.

Wouldn't go back to buying cans as the beers I'm making taste so much better.

Think I'll try a Stout next......anyone recommend one?

Cooper's Stout turns out nice.

Especially made with Dark DME and a bit of black treacle. :wink:

Another vote here for the Cooper's Stout. I've made quite a few different kit stouts, including the most recommended 'premium' ones, and I would still say the Cooper's is the best. The John Bull Masterclass Irish Stout was excellent too, if you can find anywhere that has stock left.

I've done the Black Rock Miners Stout recently which was very nice. Going to try the John Bull Chocolate Stout soon (I think there's still 1 or 2 online shops you can get this), have heard that's good to.

Bought it today from my Home Brew shop £10.50, not bad.

Looking forward to getting this on the go. Will bottle a few and barrel the rest.
