I like to drink a beer as I make food for myself and my girlfriend, in the evening. I do that most nights of the week, but only have one. Of course I have more at social gatherings and what not (as rare as they are now-a-days), but if we're just at home I'll have one and stop there. I also drink...

Welcome! You're one brew ahead of me. I'm planning to start my first brew this week, Youngs American IPA. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to hobbies/projects, so this is right up my street. Plus I like beer, so it has that going for it too! I'm aware that plastic isn't the greatest for something so sensitive to bacteria. Although, by the time I want to...

Thank you. That seems like a good stepping stone between kits and making your own from scratch.

Thank you all for the advice, batch priming it is. All my equipment arrives today, it's exciting! However, I'm waiting on a digital thermometer to arrive that I ordered. I'm fairly confident our spare room is perfect for brewing beer, but I want to monitor the temps over a 24 hour period just to...

I changed to a bench capper based on the advice here, it's all already ordered. I'm looking forward to getting started. Am I right in thinking there's two different ways of priming beer, in the bucket or by adding a small amount of sugar to each bottle? If so, which way do the kits usually...

Thank you. I'm as much interested in the process as I am the finished product. AG is a goal, but not one I'm looking towards yet, I want to start small and work up to it.

Wow, what a great response! I shall make a few adjustments, as per the suggestions here, and get my stuff ordered today. Thank you everyone for the advice, I really do appreciate it.

Hi, I want to crack on with my first brew but wanted to double check a couple of things before I go ahead and order everything. I also have a load of questions, please bear with me! I've been browsing the forum for a few days to get some sort of bearing and this is what I think I should...

Thank you both for the welcome. It's funny you should say that, after browsing this forum for the last few days, that's exactly what I decided to do! I'm going to make a post over in the equipment section to make sure I haven't missed anything and I have couple of questions too.

Hello! I don't know about any of you (before you started brewing), but I've said to my girlfriend over the past years, repeatedly, that I intend on making my own beer, but never actually done it. However, this time I actually intend on going through with it! We recently came back from...
