How much beer can one make/drink?

Hey All,

I know this may betray my newbie status within the HB community but I have a question that has been on my brain since I started my first brew last week.

Re: Coopers PET 4 sale - Adelaide

Hey Doc,

I'll be in Adelaide in January for two weeks. Would be happy to take them off your hands then if you haven't receieved any interest between now and then.
