Just started brewing again

Last time I made beer / wine was in the 80’s. Apart from the demijohns I needed all new kit. They have a good selection, good stock and good prices. Nice people too. I’ll be back.Mikey Kohut (21 Oct 2023, 09:38)

Amazing service

I bought two wine kits and one did not have all the necessary parts, only the grape concentrate. I needed to get this started before we went on holiday, Sam chased it up immediately with the suppliers and I received the missing bits in time to start it before we went away. As always, first class service!!Alan Gaffiney (29 Aug 2024, 14:21)
