    Its a bit of a gimmick really. They had them (or very similar) in dunnes last christmas or the one before.

    For the same money you could get better equipment giving more per batch.

    You can do very basic brewing experiments really cheap. Cheapest would be dumping yeast direct in a bottle of apple juice to make cider. it is handy to have all the equipment but not essential.

    groupon have had good deals where you can go to a class for a few hours run by a homebrew shop in dublin.

    You do not need massive amounts of space, most brewing kits are based on 25L batches. I have a 15L container and do half batches.

    Hi thanks for that I know tis better off to do it more natural as such, it is just these units seem so nice and easy, dont take up to much space and all that goes. We live in a small house so dont have much free space.

    A few of my friends brew and have to say the stuff is lovely much better than todays heiniken or what not... twas just a thought really
