Is there not some kind of stamp that will emboss a logo onto it?

Not sure about a stamp. Can`t help but think it might affect the way it seals. Don`t want to waste any!

Just a wee bump FAO anyone interested :)

I have just recently, six months ago, restarted my home brewing  after about twenty years break. In all honesty the beer I have been  brewing, Wherry Real Ale / Wilko Golden Ale/ Wilko Newkie Sweet Newkie Brown are as good as any I drink in the pubs around Falkirk.
Clarity, aroma and taste are all exceptionally good.
My problem years ago, like others, was that the kits were not really all that good. Some were better but in general they were not that great. They got you s***-faced , but that was all they did.
The kits now are so much better and the ones I usually brew are two can kits. No added sugar necessary, other than the carbonation sugar and they ferment/brew/bottle a treat.
I am at present skelping the erse out of a wonderful 4.3% Wherry Real Ale by the bottle and loving every drop.The head is spectacular and the lacing around the glass when swirled is gorgeous.
Go on lads and lassies give it a go . You will be surprised.
One extremely important point is sanitation. Sterilise everything that even comes near your brew. I use baby bottle sterilising solution and it works a treat . I soak my fermentation barrel with all my heaters/air-locks etc in the barrel at the same time.

A bit jumbled up , Wherry to blame , but give it a go.

I'm still brewing lager, admittedly haven't done any in a few months after stacking up on San Miguel through a cracking deal at Tesco - 72 bottles for £26... x 3... glug. I've still got some homebrew in the fridge though, seems to keep pretty well, and I've mastered the fizz now too, well, when I say mastered, it's certainly fizzy, but perhaps too much so, need to get that under control! Really easy to do, just as Choagy says, make sure everything's sanitised or it'll taste & smell like crap, and not do your insides much good!

Wilkinsons have Wherry at £15 for a 40 pint kit  As good as commercial beer, better imho, so FAO anyone interested get along to their store or site if you like your homebrew beer and give Wherry a try .
