Where can I buy a beer brewing kit for £20 or less (in the UK)?
the cheapest i could find was £23.95 + £4.75 carriage, and with this the beer is brewed and drunk from the same container, which in my opinion is not good, as you need to get rid of the sediment, otherwise it can contaminates the brew and causes stomach upsets, it needs decanting into a barrel, or bottles if you like beer with a good head on it, as sugar is added to form the gas, by means of secondary fermentation, bottles are a major cost of a good kit, however you can find them advertised S/h in local free papers, and sterilise them with VWP (from a home-brew shop), i don’t brew anymore as an excess of chlorine in the water supply, which kills the bacterial action in the beer, allows it to go off before it reaches completion. just a hint in case the first attempt results in vinegar, try water from an adjoining county, or use some well water if available.
