Im in drinking a Coopers Australian pale ale made with 2 jars of h&b and 1 jar honey and it's bloody lovely!!

Think you can't go wrong with the coopers kits as a budget option.

Are these the H&B at £2.35 for just under 500g? How much honey would you add?

Thanks

Yeah thems the ones Tony. I use a full jar of honey, roughly the same about 454g depending on brand.

Hi matey

Brupaks Pride of Yorkshire 2 can kits come highly recommended. I have tried 3 so far, and they have all been excellent -

Colne Valley Bitter
Linthwaite Light
India Pale Ale

I am also currently enjoy thier Beers of the World Bavarian Weissbier and its top notch IMO :)

The Belgian Brewferm kits are also very good but they do require long bottle conditioning of at least 3 months before they become anywhere near thier best.

Let us all know what you go for :)

Cheers

There are some other very good 1 can kits that are not out of the Coopers' stable. Two that I have found to be excellent are the Brewmaker Victorian Bitter and the Brewmaker IPA.
