Hi all. Just become a member on here seems a good place for help advice and tips. Completely new to the HB game started out small and simple (hopefully) just with a wilkos cerveza kit. Strange thing is all ready thinking and looking for next one and interested in adding flavour's and trying new things.
Thanks in advance DAVE
 
Welcome to the forum.
If you are starting with kits this might be useful.

And since you are looking ahead, apart from using malt extract instead of sugar, in my view the next biggest improvement to a one can kit is to add extra hops. There are plenty to choose from, although you should be looking for dual purpose or finishing hops. Many on here use CML....

And one way of using extra hops is to add them as a dry hop when the primary fermentation has died down. More here

When you've done a few kits and amassed some equipment, try all grain brewing.
you may never go back to kits again.

In the mean time, you could try adding a few hop additions to your kit brew.
After you've added the boiling water to wash the can and topped up with cold, try making a hop tea.
In a cup of hot water, steep a small amount of hops, then add this to your bucket at the same time of adding your yeast.

up the Tykes. :cheers3:
