Never, never put activated carbon into a Vodka Star wash.
You'll make lots of messy work for yourself and the Vodka Star doesn't need it as it's not really a turbo but it will make relatively clean neutral if distilled properly

Yes it's genuine, based in Norwich. I use it all the time.
Order over £44 = free delivery, but not always next day depending on time of order.

I know the owner Paul, he's as honest as the day's long. Discount Brew is one of 3 businesses that all operate from within the same ownership.
I can only say as I find, I have never had a problem and I have spent hundreds of pounds with them.

Thanks vino-tinto as I would not have order if you did not say .
Icefever , I believe it's because they only use paypal and that will be on your
card statement .

I don't think enough buyers were using it to make it worth while, good while it lasted though.

Talking about prices and markup, I spotted what I assume was the trade price of an Essencia filter system in a ritches catalogue the other week, the guy in the HBS was checking the retail price for me, which I already knew was £80, on the same line on the page was the "single unit price" of £45
Not sure if this inc vat or not, I suspect not but the retail was £80, just shows the markup!!!

Discount Homebrew has started adjusting the prices downward again. I mentioned the comments on this site to him last week, it has all been a huge problem with the new website, he will get it all sorted soon. The carriers have also changed the way they charge for delivery.
