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

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

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.

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.

Cheers. Spell check is a curse.

Didn't spot anything else.

Coppers Mexican beer. €20

You can get the Mexican Cerveza kit for €14.95 on homebrewwest, €14.55 on homebrew.ie or £10.57 from geterbrewed... I know being able to walk into Tesco and pick up a can can be convenient if you are in a bind - but an extra fiver per can??

Very true. But very handy if n needed.

poitinstill

That's a bit saucy . Geterbrewed had 10 % off and another 5% with national homebrew club discount made it just over 12 euro. Shipping was 4.38 got 2 coopers kits and some hops delivered for 33

The healthfood store upstairs in Paul St. Shopping Centre in town also does a fair variety of the Coopers kits (though at similarly gougey prices (But it is a healthfood store so yes...there shall be gouging!). Think it is €19.50 for Coopers cans and something silly like €30 for St. Peters 2-can kits. Pretty sure they are the only two lines they stock.

I buy all my stuff online, but damn glad to have it there in a pinch like when I forget to buy some DME for a planned brew or *someone* smashes my testing flask accidentally.
