Does anyone on here brew their own? I have done for years. I do tend to stockpile. Been benched for ages, and just sitting here with a nice fine pint of FU-Alaistair-Darling, with a white head on it. Just wondered is all.

When I first did this a few years back I was shocked at how hard it was to find the kit - I had to drive a fair way to a specialist shop to get it. I remember when I was a kid in the 70s, my folks had no problem getting it from places like Boots and Woolworths - it was obviously much more popular back then. Perhaps with the current economic outlook it might be making something of a comeback, who knows? -
