Hi All!
Relatively new to the old Homebrewing Malarkey! Just coming up to a year since I lost my brewing cherry (Thanks tom caxton! oooer?) and the missus of course! (for buying it that is! now then!)
First brew 04/2017 and since i've brewed 4 kits and currently on my 5th!
Had some disasters and some winners!
Hooked on homebrewing and loving brewing and loving drinking!
Starting to get the lingo and the likes from abit of forum surfing and only really starting to figure out the kit brewing so here we go!
Started with tom caxton real ale which went ok until my barrel lost pressure which cost me 20 pints!
Second was a wherry which now looking back got stuck in fermentation (and being an amateur) read a tonne of stuff I had no concept of and ended up ballsing the lot up!
Determined I bought another caxton real ale which went excellently well! bottled 15 which I massively over carbonated (mmmmm Andrews liver salts! my favourite!) and kegged the rest which was lovely and gone in a flash!
4th was a courage directors kit ..... Balls up ! don't ask. (case of brewing without due care and attention!) (would have rather been drunk incharge of a fermenting vessel but no such luck!!)
I have now built a Fermentation chamber due to in consistant temps in my house and genuinly crap and in-decisive British weather! (inkbird,heater tube, fan, fridge .etc)
5th I have successfully reached phase 2 (kegging) of a TC Best bitter with added 50/50 MedDME and Sugar and brewed short to 36pints. All going great so far and tasting even better!
Planning a Stout Next!
