Hi guys,
Good to see there's a few other brewers out there! I've been brewing for over 15 years now. Mostly Coopers kits these days because they re so easy and reliable (and with 2 young kids there's not enough time to do anything more complicated). Don't mind the Blackrock Pilsner kits from NZ either. I bottled a Cooper's Ale about a week ago, and that will be my last for a while, as it's a bit too warm for good fermentation over the summer. I've got about 6 cartons maturing in the garage, so that should do me for the next few months. There's a European Lager that should be reaching it's peak just in time for Christmas!
Cheers,
Stephen
