plus I managed to break the kettle boiling 3.5L , well I didn't break it, but later that evening the switch packed up . a flashy designer name brand 5 month old rapid boil kettle that was noisy as hell, replaced by a quiet 5 pound job from Tesco.

I have three different bottles, actual grolsh bottles, some 2 pint bottles from ikea and some 750ml grolsh style bottles..
the problem I have with capped is I am tight and dont like spending money

My Christmas present from the wife this year is going to be a home brew kit, all down to this thread 
Be interesting to see how it turns out, hopefully better than the last batch I made, some thirty odd years ago.....

Set off some alchoshots ( around 4 litre's ) a few days ago. Need to add the flavouring tomorrow and going to go with apple.
Last lot I made was meant to be mixed fruit but tasted exactly like an energy drink! Didnt last long other than the hang over the day after!

Waited a little longer than planned. Now I have ice shot glasses frozen and the apple souz chilling a little for this evening
Takes around 6 days or so to make alchoshots so quick and easy with alot less mess than beer/lager
