Dont think so ,clarehall does

Hunter Mahan · 23-02-2013 3:01pm

I'm thinking of starting a new hobby, does anyone know if they have these kits in Cork or Kerry?

barbazal · 12-04-2013 3:16pm

Iv recently got a home brew kit from tesco wexford and think its brillant but its a 2 hour round trip to get supplys would be brill if they had them in waterford

You'd save a fortune in petrol buying online.

barbazal · 17-04-2013 7:02pm

Ill have to theirs so much more available online

Edwardius · 24-04-2013 9:33pm

Weird, clarehall have moved the stock a bit and are charging 20 quid for the coopers kits, the youngs stuff is at the end of the aisle and there's barley wine, mild, lager and scottish heavy kits for 3.50!, some discounts on the wine kits too! Grabbed two barley wine and one scottish heavy, 10.50 for the lot. Might just throw the three into a bucket and see what sort of monstrosity comes out!

Lovely Bloke · 24-04-2013 10:18pm

Going to head up in the morning pick up some of that, thanks for the tip

Where in the shop is it? Last time I was there it was over in the homewares section

The discounted stuff is on the end of that aisle, there was a good few cheap kits left this evenin'.

Lovely Bloke · 25-04-2013 1:25pm

Went up this morning and searched high and low but they must have removed the last of them, and re-stocked with newer stuff.

Ah well.

Son0vagun · 03-05-2013 8:38am

Are the bigger stores still doing homebrew? The last time I was in Clarehall they had sod all. I'm going past Clearwater later, does anyone know if they still stock HB supplys?

Skrynesaver · 03-05-2013 9:06am

Clearwater had bits last time I was in, a week or so ago.

Just bits or full range?

Lovely Bloke · 03-05-2013 9:55am

Bits and pieces. It's not a big seller for them, so they don't really maintain it.

Son0vagun · 03-05-2013 5:32pm

Very bad choice choice in Clearwater. And their prices have gone up a lot. Used to be €11 for 24peta bottles, gone up to €14. Most of the kits are €20. Think I'd rather purchase online.

lang · 12-05-2013 10:54am

Anyone know if the Tesco in Maynooth or Naas sells the PET Bottles? I see from previous posts that the price has increased to €14 but I've just put in a HB order and didn't realise that I needed more bottles... (Only solution is to drink more I guess

)... Might need to take a trip to Tesco to increase the stock. I don't fancy putting in another order online cos it costs €5 for delivery when I'll be passing near either Maynooth or Naas in the coming days.

was in Tesco Maynooth yesterday and very little homebrew gear in stock, plus have jacked up the prices of what is left

kits are now €20, seen a few glass btls for sale at €7 for 6 I think, 5lts glass demijohns at €11.

no caps, no drops, no enhancers, imo it's only 25% the the size it was 3 months ago.

It never really took off I think in Tesco I think, prices were too high to begin with plus you could never really get everything you wanted.

deckie27 · 19-05-2013 9:33pm

Got a cheap wine kit in Naas this evening.
Carafe 21. Reduced from 27 to 6 euro and a few pence
There was a white left

giftgrub · 30-05-2013 9:13am

Does anyone know if they still have anything in Clearwater?

I'll be up that was tomorrow i think and might pop in

Lovely Bloke · 30-05-2013 10:27am

They have loads of stuff in Clearwater, but it's expensive.

Kits are €20, 500g Spraymalt are €8.

Just looking for some yeast i need in a hurry, maybe a glass DJ as welll. I got one there before for 11 quid

looksee · 30-05-2013 12:10pm

Is there any reason why you wouldn't use the PET 5 ltr water bottles rather than buying them specially, I know you have to get a bung and airlock, but it would still work out cheaper than €14. I think most of what you are paying for is the storage space a 5lt bottle takes up!

Toxins from the plastic could leech into your brew. Make sure whatever u use is food grade plastic.

Saruwatari · 30-05-2013 10:16pm

Just a heads-up, what's left of the section in Maynooth is all in clearance now.

I use the plastic for a secondary...i dont know, i just kind of like the glass DJs:)

giftgrub · 31-05-2013 12:12pm

Hit Clearwater today just for a few munites as i was out that way.

Got some Youngs Yeast and sterilliser which i had run out of and needed, the Home Brew section is getting smaller alright.

Although they did re-stock since i was last there, plenty of airlocks, bungs, siphons, good few kits as well although i didnt really make note of the prices.

I'd still order my wine kits online, Tesco is handy for some small things if you're stuck.

That's disappointing. I had noticed it was moving further and further away!

Blambalam · 04-06-2013 12:11am

Has anyone seen homebrew stuff for sale in the Tesco in Cabra? It's one of the bigger stores, could be there.

I did have six glass ones that had been in the attic for over 20 years, so I let them go, just before I decided I wanted to make mead...

RATM · 07-06-2013 12:53pm

Anyone know of a Dublin based Tesco still selling homebrew equipment ? I'm specifically after a box of Coopers 500ml pet bottles, I had a look in Clearwater a few days ago but all their homebew stuff seems to be gone.

apparently theyve restocked clarehalk, a mate who is out that way keeps an eye out for me. He took a pic on the phone, im pretty sure there was a box of bottles

Griff77 · 01-07-2013 11:47am

Does anyone know if they sell bottle caps in Tesco Clearwater (Finglas)? I was in the Clarehall Tescos at the weekend but no joy, they do have some homebrew kit though.

They had some caps in Clearwater about 2 weeks ago

giftgrub · 11-07-2013 2:25pm

In Naas yesterday for work so I popped into the Tesco Extra for a look....

They had a small selection of beer and wine kits, DJs, Fermenters, glass bottles, cappers, yeast, cleaners etc

elmer · 01-12-2013 1:44am

I was in Naas this evening and the homebrew section was still stocked. Sadly no ox bottles though as they were out of stock so I bought a capper and caps instead for my first go

Devi · 01-12-2013 6:05pm

Thats weird, I was just about to pop up to Naas to have a look for some OX bottles. Saved me the trip now cheers!

The health shop in the pavilions sell caps if your stuck.

Never mind, just realized the post was 5 months old

revz · 05-12-2013 8:47pm

Anyone been to Clearwater recently and seen any homebrew kits?
Was hoping to start a new brew this weekend so would pick one up tomorrow if they still have it.

I rang their helpline, @4p.m. a guy had me on the phone for 4-5 minutes, was trying to ring various extensions in Clearwater and find out for me. Told me to ring back after 6 as it would be less busy.
Rang again and this time a different guy just searched on a computer and said no.
Not too sure if I should take his word for it as it was very different to the first call!

They had good range 1 week ago,when i was in store

Anyone know if they have the beer kit in carlow or waterford?

rameire · 08-01-2014 7:29pm

dont think they have anything in Carlow, was there recently and nothing brewish available.

Naas extra had a full compliment last week, including ox bottles,

I find if in Naas if you are looking for something in Naas extra and it is not on the normal shelf, it may be high up out of reach and maybe on another Isle but between the toys and the tvs.

rameire · 06-03-2014 11:34am

the wife was there last weekend, and all they had were bottles and full kits.
nothing else was on the shelf.

I was in Tesco Extra Naas on tuesday and they have everything you could need.

Ronan|Raven · 06-03-2014 6:44pm

That new shop, The Mottly Brew might be handy and is near enough to Clarehall.

I wasn't in the shop today but I was down the road at the local market where he had setup for the day.

He has a lot various Coopers kits, some Brewferm kits, Muntons kits and the Bulldog premium kits, some wine kits, demijohns, bungs, fermenters etc

Very reasonably priced too, good price on the Bulldog Evil Dog IPA kit. Less than €30 euro which is a good price for what you get.

giftgrub · 27-03-2014 4:52pm

In Clearwater today... I picked up some Youngs yeast and Sterilliser, they still have bottles, some Coopers kits, fermenters, and various bits and bobs. Smaller selection than the last time I was there about 6 months ago.
