    I used to brew years ago used the Lowcocks 2pint lemonade bottles, it cost 2p a pint to brew. make sure everything is sterilized and don't rush it, have one brewing while you are drinking the other, I found the Lager was more palatable.

        Ahhhh homebrew i used to brew my own many moons ago. I used to get the Boots own brand which was ?1.99p for 40 pints and good stuff it was too.

        Used to drink the ~~~~er before it fermented properly and mix it with cider for a real pt snake bite , no wonder 'm ~~~~ed these days.

        THE TRUTH
        The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

        Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
        The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                  Is it the ingredients or is it the process that makes the different beers ?
                  Do what you can with what you have .

                    You cant go wrong with Geordie Home Brew Kit, just ad hot water sterilize your equipment let cool and ad the yeast.

                    And you will be drinking it after two months.
