Coopers does a nice drop.

 

yup they seem to make a good homebrew kit that gets shipped over here,
its on special offer in the uk at wilcos £13.80

 

i made this with coffee and brown sugar added came out very nice i have a few bottles maturing..

 

I find with all these kits the key is maturing. I leave mine for a good 6 weeks before I get stuck in. I may have the odd one if the mean time. Just to see how it's coming along

 

Don't know about the coopers but I've just done a Wherry kit, bout half a barrel left now, whoops!
Oh and just done a cider kit today which should only take two weeks!
Gotta be worth it at less than 40p a pint

 

wilkinsons have their home brew kits reduced ....

got a couple of 5 gallon wine kits for £13...thats around 60p a bottle

 

been away for a week and took a few bottles of the aged coopers stout ..

its turned out very nice.......and strong....

 

At £13.50 that sounds like a bargain then. Think I'll try this one next

 

Just made another one...

 

You won't be disappointed . Did a lager in coopers tasted great .
Not like in the 80's boots budget bitter kit tasting of yeast no matter what ....then the inevitable spewing up at about 3 in the morning
