Welcome to the forum. Hope the first brew is a good one!

Thanks Baron. I will gve it another week or two in the garage.

So I finished carbonating my coopers stout last week and it's been conditioning in the garage since. I decided to have a taste today and its not got a head and tastes a bit tangy. Am I bit premature on the tasting? Got the next one going though. Got myself a fridge with heater and temp control...

I am very sorry for messing you around mate. Had a look at van hire and fuel, im actually closer to 3 hours one way. I've only just started on my brewing journey and a keezer is on the books but after a convo with the misses and a good think about kegs and other gear that will be needed, im...

Have you got the external dimensions to hand?

I saw this little trick here and and thats exactly how i bottled my first batch today!

So just started my first brew. Probably the least interesting brew on here as it's a Coopers Stout kit. Very easy, no messing. Pitched the yeast at 26degree. OG was 1036 instructions say 1038, but im sure thats not too far off? Just put him under the stairs. Sits between 16 and 17 degrees all...

Happy new year to all.

You get a lot of Tennis. Some international rugby, occasional prem league football.

OK, i get it now. I think i've been over complicating everything by reading too much into water treatment and the like. Nice to get some clear and straight forward answers, so thanks for that. I will defo have a look for the book you mention. So looking forward to getting it going.

Ah, I see. Tap water seems fine, i drink it and there is no chemical smell to it. If i was to use half a campden tab, can I just add the tablet when I add the water? Not sure about your last question.
