Just thought I'd let you guys know that I went to Coles today, and they were selling "Wander" kits at $2.20 (going out of stock I think). So I bought the whole lot, which was about 8 cans. Any ideas as to what I could do with these bargains? My next project is to do a chilli beer, any hints would be great........

Cheers
 
i grab a coles tin every now and again, have not seen them for 2.5 tho :blink: and go the chilli, done that once or twice too ;)
 
some different ways to put chilli in your beer, i would check out http://www.byo.com and look in the archive link, there was some info there

....Thats if u can call Wander kits different styles :ph34r:
 
Ive never even heard of these wander kits. Are they just at Coles?
 
Ive seen them at that other great Home brewing Mecca!!!




"K-Mart"
 
ha, i did buy some kits from kmart a few years back, for about $2 each, about 5 of them, i put them down with brown sugar and some hopps i had left in the fridge and could not remember what it was... not a bad beer, i did larger it for about 2 months tho...

You could try an all kit brew, two or three cans together, depending on the styles you have.

there were 2 kinds of wanders style.... Munich, and bitter...there was also a brewiser wheat beer for $3.50 which I also picked up........
 
I'd use them for yeast starters.

Beers,
Doc
 
Actually, in the days when I did supermarket kits, the Wander Munich with some added crystal and some malt was quite a decent drop.

But now, like Doc, I'd use them for starters.
 
Thats being kind Doc, :lol:
I thought of a lot worse things to do with them! :unsure:

Cheers
 
I thought of a couple uses for those cans.

paper weights? door stops? ;)

Ive got 2 jerries in CC from using savings brand draught. Both were 2 can brews. One I used the Wyeast 2007 and the other the saf ?34/70?.
Anyway, they were just so cheap I couldnt resist buying them and trying some lagering methods over winter.
The one with the 2007is not bad. The other one i will bottle in pet and give to my bro in law.
I have to admit after doing part mashes these kits just dont make the same beer.
I'm sure if there was nothing else available they would be great but I doubt very much if I bother with kits any more.
I have 3 more savings brand kits I dont know what to do with. Probably make a 3 can brew for the bro in law :D

cheers
 
Just use em to cultivate yeast :)
1 can, 10L of water, and you have enough stubbie starters to last you a year.
