Important Information
UPDATE
We have been advised that Brew 2 Bottle Ltd / Virtual Distribution has been purchased back by 2 of the serving officers. Absolute classic !!!
The new company is SHOP AT HOME RETAIL GROUP LIMITED. Company number 1068694. This company was created in Feb 2017.
So be very very wary, when it 'pops' back up to start trading.
Thursday 31st March 2022
UPDATE
As we have seen on several forums with regards to the "company restructuring".
On Friday 18th March, we recieved official documentation that "Brew2Bottle / Virtual Logistics" was entering volentary liquidation. So with regards to Forum comments, they should not be processing any further orders from the appointment of the Insolvency Practisioner.
You can see, there is no stock from any of the Home Brew Suppliers. What we will say, is they owe a considerable amount of money, to 42 other Creditors.
Please consider whether you wish to support such a company.
Friday 25th March 2022
UPDATE
Tuesday 8th March we were contacted by an Insolvency Practitioner acting on behalf of Brew2Bottle. Our understanding, appointed 1st March. We have done as much as we can to try and resolve the issue. The further problem ( and frustrating as it is ), they are still allowed to trade, but rest assured - no stock will appear.
When we took the decision to act in the way that we have, it wasn’t taken lightly. We are a longstanding company. What we could see happening was Brew2Bottle was about to ‘bring down’ other suppliers within our industry.
There is some chatter on some ‘Home Brew Forums’. From our understanding and more importantly to put the story right, they have been asked to clarify and put their side of the story across ( even as a sponsor ) , which they have declined. So, what do they have to hide?. They can freely put their side of this matter anywhere they wish.
What needs to be understood is this is not the first time that some of the serving officers have done this. The last thing we would want is for anyone to place orders, only to find the goods were never ( and knowingly ) going to be delivered. You’re hard-earned cash simply gone.
If we hadn’t done what we have, customers ( you ) of B2B would still be placing orders with them, oblivious to what was happening in the background.
This is a business model used well. Setting up companies in anticipation of folding the previous.
We could not sit back and be used in the manor of “ it’s a supply issue “ damaging our company, brands, and reputation. Rest assured, our stocks are plentiful.
Look these people up on ‘social media’. Look at the companies they are attached to.
Some companies in our industry possibly cannot afford to lose monies and this could spell the end for them too, no one gives that a thought ?, other lively hoods gone.
Less suppliers = less choice= less stock= less stores. Clearly, they have no morals or obligations.
Friday 11th March 2022
UPDATE
We have now had no alternative but to issue a 'Winding Up Petition' against the company 'Brew2Bottle' and its serving officers for failure to make payment.
Serving Officers -

We want to make customers of Brew2Bottle, Hapton. Lancashire, aware of issues with the supply of Home Brew products.
For several weeks, we have not supplied products for sale to this company. You will see from their website that stocks are at a minimum or majority out of stock.
What does this mean for you the customer? In the current financial situation all of us face, we feel it duly right that should you be purchasing items from this company (and or any other in fact ) you are made aware that any “promissory notes” to sell you item’s ( especially were out of stock ) are not an issue with stock being available from ourselves or in fact many of our trading partners.
It’s easy for a “virtual company” to pass the blame of product availability/supply back to a manufacture or their supplier, especially if you can’t physically see it or touch it.
Young’s have been in the industry for over 50 years, from the very beginning of manufacturing and supplying Home Brew products, to which we are extremely proud & honourable. We feel it morally correct that should you part with hard earned funds, you receive the items you ask for and not broken promises.

How To Make Wine
 |
|
All wine kits include easy to follow detailed instructions. It has never been easier to produce quality wines in your own home. Kits make 6 or 30 bottles consisting of quality ingredients giving you superb results every time.
What will I need? ( Based on 30 bottle wine kit )
The wine kit of your choice Hydrometer / Trial jar ( recommended ) * Not all kits require suger
How Do I Do It? Please ensure you carefully read your wine kit instructions before starting your wine. It's also a good idea to double check your kit contents before starting. We cannot stress enough how important it is to thoroughly sterilse all equipment before use. We recommend using Young's Cleaner / Steriliser. Empty the juice into the fermenter / vessel. Your kit instructions will advise the required amount of water, we recommend you add 50 / 50 - Hot ( not boiling ) / Cold, adding hot first and stirring thoroughly. If your kit requires sugar - use the hot water to help dissolve it. After making sure the Juice / Water / Sugar is thoroughly mixed, use your Hydrometer and take a note of the reading. This will not only make sure you have thoroughly mixed but will help you determine your alcohol content at the end. Add the Yeast / Bentonite and ensure the fermenter lid is tightly closed, fit the bung and airlock (containing water). Fermentation should start within 48 hours. This is shown by bubbles passing through the airlock. A constant temperature will produce a more stable fermentation. Temperature variations may effect fermentation. When the "bubbles" have stopped or slowed in the airlock, check wine has finished using your Hydrometer. You can also taste the wine at this stage to see if it suits your palate. As a guide, this is how your wine will taste. 990 - 994 = Dry 995 - 999 = Medium 1000 - 1005 = Sweet In order to work out your alcohol content, take your starting gravity minus ( - ) your finishing gravity and divide by 7.41. As an example - 1.090 - 1.000 = 90 Divide 90 by 7.41 = 12.14% ABV. Once the wine has finished add the stabiliser and "De Gas". De Gassing the wine is a simple process of removing the Co2 from the wine. Either stir or shake the wine, a "foamy head" will appear. Repeat this during the day over 2-3 days until all the foam has nearly all gone. De Gassing also helps with clearing. You will then add the finings, after around a week your wine should be crystal clear & ready for bottling / dispensing. Enjoy. |

How To Make Beer
 |
|
All beer kits include easy to follow detailed instructions. It has never been easier to brew your own beer. Using the finest quality ingredients, malt, hops and yeast to give you a great pint time and time again.
What will I need? ( Based on 40 pint kit )
The beer kit of your choice Hydrometer / Trial jar ( recommended ) Brewing Sugar / Beer Enhancer* * Not all kits require sugar ** For Barrelling only
How Do I Do It? Please ensure you carefully read your beer kit instructions before starting your beer kit. It's also a good idea to double check your kit contents before starting. We cannot stress enough how important it is to thoroughly sterilse all equipment before use. We recommend using Young's Cleaner / Steriliser. It may help to remove the lid, stand the can / pouch in hot (not boiling) water for up to 5 minutes, to help loosen up the malt to help pouring. Empty the malt into the vessel. Your kit instructions will advise the required amount of water, we recommend you add 50 / 50 - Hot ( not boiling ) / Cold, adding hot first and stirring thoroughly. If your kit requires sugar - use the hot water to help dissolve it. After making sure the Malt / Water / Sugar is thoroughly mixed, use your Hydrometer and take a note of the reading. This will not only make sure you have thoroughly mixed but will help you determine your alcohol content at the end. Add the Yeast / Hops and ensure the fermenter lid is tightly closed, fit the bung and airlock (containing water). Fermentation should start within 48 hours. This is shown by bubbles passing through the airlock. A constant temperature will produce a more stable fermentation. Temperature variations may effect fermentation. When the "bubbles" have stopped or slowed in the airlock, check the beer has finished using your Hydrometer. Refer to your beer kit instructions as this will tell you when the specific gravity of when you can Barrel / bottle your beer. In order to work out your alcohol content, take your starting gravity minus ( - ) your finishing gravity and divide by 7.41. As an example - 1.0400 - 1.0100 = 30 Divide 30 by 7.41 = 4.05% ABV. Once the beer has finished you then need to prime the beer, some will recommend half a tea spoon per bottle or around 80grams for a Barrel. The easiest way we find is to "bulk prime". Simply transfer your beer into another sterilised vessel, add the full amount of sugar, mix thoroughly stiring well. This ensures that the sugar is equally dissolved in all of the wort. Beer finings may also be added at this stage should you wish. If transfering the wort into a Barrel (sterilised), make sure the "cap o'ring" has a smear of Vaseline to ensure an air tight seal. Its also a good idea to check the tap to make sure it is tight. If ottling ensure you leave a little head room for the Co2 to form. Leave for around 2 weeks. This will give the beer time to carbonate and clear. Enjoy. |
