Does anyone Homebrew?

Yeah it's come a long way in the time I've been brewing which us probably close to 20 years on and off.

Id be interested to see your list Sam.

Well my top 3 in no particular order are;

Brupaks Colne Valley Bitter
Woodforde's Wherry
Brupaks Extra Special Bitter

All are around the 20 pound for 40 pint mark, - Woodfordes was really simple to brew and had a fantastic taste.
The Colne valley bitter allowed for alterations in hop strength (so you could choose if you wanted it more or less bitter).
The Extra special was more complicated and allowed for many more variances with hops.. brewing time.. types of sugar etc

Will try dig out my full list from the garage...

Nice, not tried the brupacks ones but use woodfords kits quite a bit. I do like the Werry, may well be my next brew. Currently drinking their Nog which is nice and dark and before that I did Headcracker, which does what it says on the tin!

My local homebrew shop has started doing their own kits with bags of hops and grain to boil up to add to the tinned malt. Really good fun and great results.

This is very similar to the way the Brupack Colne Valley Bitter works - is very fun and allows you to add your own twist on it.
Had the Nog which was good but haven't had the guts to try the Headcracker yet!

I've got some sweet newcastle (or summit like that) on the go at the mo. It was a one tin thing from wilkinsons. Fingers crossed it will work out ok.

Awesome, do let us know how it goes!
