    Use them to top up the screen wash bottle or to defrost the windscreen.

          I've run out of that as well and until I get my next contract I won't be making the weekly drinks

          Though I've still got some wine.

            I wanted to provide a link to a particular product but the way the web site has been done, I cannot work out how to do that.

            The nearest I can get it this.

              I am keen to try the Nelson's Revenge home kit but why is it more expensive than beer I can order from a supermarket? Is it the taste? The satisfaction of making your own? What's the attraction?

                Erm, £20 for 36 pints strikes me as reasonably cheap.

                How much are you paying for your supermarket beer ... and what sort is it? (Canned Kestrel and Tesco Value Beer don't count, Shirley?)

                And I think the answer to your question is: it's a hobby.

                  Ok. Polish the silver with it then.

                    Yes, I would be doing it for the interest/hobby sake and not because it is significantly cheaper so yes that answers the question.

                      18 quid / 40 pints. Not as expensive as supermarket beer.

                      Satisfaction is pretty well up there with why I brew. Also not lining the chancellers pockets. And the quality of the woodfordes kits is well worth it. I have a Wherry to put on as soon as the snow sods off.
                      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.
