I have just taken delivery of a Brewzer home brew kit. Only Ł9.99 and will make 10 pints (4.5%) with what is provided. I went for bitter.
Looks fairly simple and takes approx 20 days to ferment.
The problem is they are no longer available so after my 10 pints I am not sure if any other home brew re fills will work in it.
If it tastes alright I might look in to a proper home brew kit. My mate used to make his own lager, bitter and stout and it tasted alright. I also have a local home brew shop down the road!
I will be putting it together and brewing it at the weekend.

Is that actually going to brew beer? Looks like a Toys'R'us kids version, it will make jelly and blow bubbles

Used to live in Burton. The smell of hops from the carling factory and the marmite factory nearby were just gross in the morning
