Homebrew equipment

Hi all,

first of all i know how to use google

. Just i was wondering if anyone knew any good online stores that stock items like

Fermentation (airlocks) locks
Bungs for demi johns
Yeast
campden tablets.
hydrometers

I have looked around so many stores online but the postage prices vary so much, easier if someone experienced knows a good site with decent postage charges and that actually still trades, as a lot of the sites look so old i dont even know if they are still operational.

Also, any tips on cider brewing would be helpfull

. im all setup up, but you can never get enough advice from experienced brewers.

I remember being dragged around a car boot sale once, loads of peasants selling junk on a Sunday. Funnily enough, there was quite a lot of home brew equipment for sale, worth a try?

yea, i went around a boot sale today, picked up a load of demijohns.

I've picked my own apples, and will be pulping and pressing them myself. with my own constructed press

.

so no kits here

I made a pretty succesful stout... I meant to get into it as a hobby, but in the end I only brewed three beers, as with so much. Two were fine, one failed entirely (but was, obviously, still consumed).
