I homebrew beer too. I think that's part of the reason why I fancied doing it - it's quite satisfying making something yourself. Especially beer. I like good beer.
I used to make beer very many years ago. It got drunk by myself and one or two others daft (and inebriated) enough to do so but, in my own case the words "home made beer" and "good beer" didn't belong in the same sentence. I'm sure yours is in a different category altogether (bloody well hope so, coz mine was generally dreadful).

These days, all the necessary ingredients are readily available online to make any beer you can imagine. With a few hundred £s (not even that I suppose) worth of kit, a few hours of your time and patience, you can easily make beer as good as you can buy, for a fraction of the cost.
But reading other forums, there are horror stories of Boots beer kits and limited supplies of stale ingredients 'back in the day', which invariably ended in terrible beer.

Update!
All eight bottles posted today via 2nd class, so hopefully you should all see them on Wednesday. The glycerine hasn't mixed that well, so just give it a good shake before use, whether it will dissolve in time I'm not sure.
Hope you all like it and it reaches you safely.
Thanks again.

Ditto Gareth !Many thanks Gareth, really appreciate your work and time and am looking forward to receiving and trying your Bay Rum.
Mine arrived this morning. Fabulously well packed. Couldn't resist a splash straight away... very "Bay Rum" .... certainly not overpowering on my skin - but, unfortunately, very few scents are long lasting for me.
I'll use it after the next shave and expect it to be soothing and pleasing in the extreme.
Cracking gesture for which I'm very grateful indeed. Top Man!

Mine arrived today Gareth, very well packed indeed, well done! I've had a sniff and it smells fantastic, I will use it after tomorrow's shave and report back. Thank you once again for giving us all a chance to try your Bay rum..... This could be the start of something big!

Any oldtimers got this to compare with Sunburyboy's stuff?

Great minds think alike!
You'll have seen Steve's post elsewhere here today. Maybe he can be persuaded to share his secrets now that several of us have made inroads into the depths of the Bay Rum rabbit hole.

Thanks stan, glad you got it ok and you like it. I used it on Saturday, it's fairly stingy! But then it does have a high percentage of alcohol. Skin felt good afterwards and I didn't use and balm, though this is also due to the excellent OSP bay rum soap I used. Get some if you haven't already.
