Cheap stuff at Coles, Prahran

Was doing some shopping yesterday at Coles in Chapel St. , and noticed they have Cascade kits for $4.00, bags of Coopers carb drops for a measly 50c, and bags of Coopers dextrose for $2.00. Get in and fill yer boots.
A word of warning- not all the kits have their yeast sachet, and even if they do, someone has blurred/scratched off the best before dates. Still, at $4.00 a pop, you can't go wrong.

Tell your food agency
Defacing the Best Before is illegal, worse than borrowing a keg on a permanent basis if you know what I mean.
I agree though, pitch the yeast in the gash and use the can with a fresh yeast.

UC1,
A bit late but I wouldn't take one of those cascade kits if they were giving them away, absolute sh**.
Not to my pallet anyway, probably going to upset a few others on the site, but I'll pay my money for something decent such as a coopers, or morgans.
Each to their own, happy brewing.

Indeed, AC.
I picked up a Spicy Ghost & a Golden Harvest lager, couldn't help myself, just could not walk past such a sweet deal.
Think it's getting too warm for lagers now anyway, was thinking of just chucking them in together as a 2 can brew at some stage.
Like the carb drops- I don't need them, but was powerless to stop myself from picking up two packs...my inner homebrewer took over and I lost the power of rational thought.

LOL
If you're going to put them down just a suggestion add some LME to the Summer Harvest.
I've left mine to condition for about 3months now and although drinkable, will just be trying to get rid of it. Hope your's comes out better than mine.
Cheers
AC

Don't feel too bad... I would have given in to temptation too... and I have enough kits, malts and grains for another 2-3 brews
and I already have two brews fermenting. I just can't help myself
