I haven't got the cash for temperature control yet, it can get very pricey. If anyone is in the same boat I would highly recommend using this stuff to brew a 'pseudo lager'. Brews very very clean at temperatures up to 30 Celsius, and after brewing if you store your beer in bottles or keg cold for around a month, you can end up with something that is extremely close to the real thing. Yeast technology is getting very good these days!

Bloody hell, I'm going to go fully on yer dar / 4 Yorkshire men here ... just googled it and it's over a pound a sachet !

I used to either lift the yeast from a bottle conditioned beer or got my local to save me the first cloudy pint and then grow it up with a bit of malt extract !

Good to know though, cheers mate, though I'm not sure I could get used to the idea of fermenting anything at 30C !

Second hand fridge and an ink bird, temp control sorted for about 150 notes.

Yes, I will definitely be looking at that when the time comes. Space is also an issue as I am an apartment dweller. I will probably change my fermenter out first. My grainfather conical is enormous and wont fit in most fridges

Bought a home brew kit when I was 16. Tried brewing it, along with my mates, and made a complete hash of it. Never forgotten the awful smell and taste, didn't stop us from drinking it.
