mcgrath

I need candy and caramunich. Hoping to brew early next week. I'll arrange to collect..

BrianC

I plan to brew at the end of this week all going well.
I Should be good for ingredients.

BrianC

Just realised I forgot to order yeast , is there available?

Will_D

Am growing some up for my brew. I have promissed Ciaran(mcgrath a few cells in a vial for growing up. Can give you some as well if you want. You will have to step up about 3 starters at least.

maybe quicker to buy (they should ship a vial for just the real postage cost - maybe?)

Probably quicker though to order a few other "essentails" and pay the courier delivery charge!
